Our Story & Mission
Environmental Medicine and Toxicology (EMT) was founded on a pivotal realization: the health of humanity is inextricably linked to the health of our environment. As novel chemicals emerge, climate patterns shift, and ecosystems face unprecedented stress, understanding the toxicological implications and medical consequences has never been more urgent.
EMT was launched to create a dedicated, interdisciplinary forum that moves beyond siloed research. We actively integrate the laboratory bench, the clinical bedside, and the community field site. Our mission is to advance knowledge on the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of diseases caused or influenced by environmental factors, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable and healthy societies.
Our Ethos: Rigor, Relevance, and Responsibility. We uphold the highest standards of scientific integrity and peer review. We prioritize research with clear relevance to human health or ecosystem protection. We feel a profound responsibility to publish work that can inform responsible action—from the physician treating a patient with environmental exposure to the policymaker drafting new safety regulations.
