Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Both large and small environmental disruptions can have profound impacts upon health and well-being. Such disruptions include interruptions in the quality, quantity, or location of materials found naturally in the environment as well as compounds that are introduced and their distribution throughout the environment. The latter consists of any of a wide variety of materials and can include industrial and agricultural pollutants, radiation, traditional and alternative medicinal compounds, antibiotics, and personal care product residues as well as their metabolites and products of the interactions of these materials. This increases the likelihood of non-beneficial human exposures to compounds.
Human health impacts resulting from environmental exposure can become magnified by social and economic inequities in ways that further deteriorate human health and environmental integrity in a reinforcing, non-virtuous cycle. This Special Issue is soliciting research and review articles that explore this area and/or identify innovative solutions to these challenges. These solutions may be interdisciplinary or could open the door for further discussions on this timely subject.
