Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gamma radiation represents a potential health risk to biota, due to its ability to ionize molecules in tissue. Ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress, DNA damage, and apoptosis, which, therefore, constitute usual molecular markers for evaluating toxicity mechanisms. Radiological protection criteria are largely based on data from acute exposure experiments of adult organisms; thus, information on the effects of ionizing radiation during sensitive life stages and after chronic exposure is lacking. Differences in sensitivity between fish, in situ exposure, and nonlinear dose/effect relationship also deserve our attention.
The specific emphasis is on novel approaches to the following: (i) gamma effects induced by gamma irradiation with a focus on fish; (ii) hereditary effects in offspring; (iii) effects of low doses and chronic exposure conditions; and (iv) multi-and transgenerational exposures.
We particularly invite contributions concerning toxic action mechanisms at different levels of biological organization and consequences on these effects on ecological risk assessments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Environments is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
