Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Special Issue on the impact of cadmium exposure in environment in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The venue is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. For detailed information on the journal, we refer you to https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/ijerph.
Cadmium is a heavy metal of considerable toxicity with destructive impact on most organ systems. Its toxicity effects on the kidney, the skeletal and the respiratory systems, and so on. Human exposure occurs mainly from consumption of contaminated food, active and passive inhalation of tobacco smoke, and inhalation by workers in the non-ferrous metal industry. Cadmium Exposure in environment has been recognized as a major public health concern in many regions worldwide. This Special Issue is open to any subject area related to cadmium exposure and public health. The listed keywords suggest just a few of the many possibilities.
