Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental contaminants and related human health risks have become a global environmental issue. Environmental contaminants enter the ecosystem and are enriched by the food chain. Potential exposure to humans has been a concern for society as a whole. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the relationship between environmental contaminants and human diseases, trying to answer the question of how the contaminants affect human bodies. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on environmental contaminants and human health, aiming to figure out the relationship and mechanism. Therefore, it covers but is not limited to the following topics: the occurrence levels of contaminants in environmental and human bodies, exposure estimation, toxicity research, meta-analyses, and data reviews.
