Scope

The specialty section of Environmental Toxicology aims at publishing innovative insights into the occurrence, fate, transport and effects and risks of man-made (e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic chemicals, personal care products) and natural chemicals (algal toxins, metals and metalloids) and materials (e.g. nanomaterials and plastics) in the natural environment. The section covers impacts at the biochemical, cellular, whole organism, population through to whole ecosystem levels in a range of environments, including freshwater and marine aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial environments. The section welcomes studies at scales ranging from single-site studies through to global-level analyses. Papers describing the development and application of environmental analytical approaches, chemical fate and behaviour studies and models, exposure modelling approaches, and in-silico, in-vitro and in-vivo approaches to ecotoxicological assessment are welcome. Papers focusing on topical areas such as the chemical exposome, mixture and multiple stressor risks, adverse outcome pathways and the impacts of chemicals in the future, e.g. under climate change, are particularly welcome.
