Aims & Scope

The primary aim of Environmental Medicine and Toxicology (EMT) is to publish high-quality, innovative research that clarifies how environmental agents impact human and ecosystem health. We also strive to translate this knowledge into preventive, clinical, and regulatory solutions. Our goal is to foster dialogue among toxicologists, physicians, epidemiologists, environmental scientists, exposure assessors, risk assessors, and public health experts.

EMT welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics, particularly encouraging interdisciplinary studies. The journal's scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

A. Mechanistic & Molecular Toxicology:
- Studies on the fate, transport, metabolism, and biomonitoring of environmental chemicals.
- Molecular mechanisms of toxicity, including carcinogenesis, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and immunotoxicity.
- Advances in in vitro, in silico, and alternative testing models (known as New Approach Methodologies - NAMs).

B. Clinical Environmental Medicine:
- Diagnosis, management, and treatment of diseases induced or exacerbated by environmental factors, such as chemical sensitivities, heavy metal poisoning, and pesticide-related illnesses.
- The role of environmental factors in chronic diseases, including respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological disorders.
- Biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility, and effects in clinical populations.

C. Exposure Science & Epidemiology:
- Assessment of personal, community, and population-level exposures to environmental stressors.
- Epidemiological studies linking environmental exposures to health outcomes.
- The impact of climate change on exposure patterns and health risks, including heat stress, changing patterns of vector-borne diseases, and air pollution effects.

D. Risk Assessment & Regulatory Science:
- Frameworks and methodologies for human health and ecological risk assessments.
- Data-driven approaches for establishing safety standards, guidelines, and policies.
- Critical evaluations of regulatory paradigms and the science-policy interface.

E. Emerging Challenges & One Health:
- Toxicology of emerging contaminants, such as microplastics, nanoplastics, e-waste, and novel industrial compounds.
- The relationship between environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and health, following the "One Health" approach.
- Solutions-oriented research focused on remediation, green chemistry, and sustainable technologies for health protection.

Article Types: We publish Original Research Articles, Rapid Communications, Narrative Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Case Reports, Perspectives, book reviews, viewpoints and opinions, and Letters to the Editor.
