Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical pollution could have adverse effects on human health, including causing cancer, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, etc. This Special Issue addresses the global public health concerns related to chemical pollution, including air, water, food, and soil pollution. It also addresses hazardous substances of global health concern such as toxic metals (cadmium, nickel, manganese, lead, and mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), pesticides, and plasticizers such as phthalates and bisphenols, as well as major sources of their release and routes of exposure. Along with the adverse health effects observed in in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models, and from epidemiological studies, economic losses associated with exposure to the selected chemicals will be discussed. Eventually, attention should be paid to the chemical mixtures that simulate real-life exposure to these chemicals, their adverse health effects, and possible interactions.
