Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The occurrence of arsenic and uranium in the environment has the potential to impact millions of people globally. Arsenic exposure has been extensively studied and associated with a variety of health conditions and disease development; the opportunity remains to conduct similarly detailed investigations of the health impacts of uranium exposure. Recent advances in analytical chemistry, environmental and biostatistics, and spatial analysis have developed our capabilities to further examine the singular and co-occurrence of arsenic and uranium in a variety of environmental media as well as the human health impacts of co-exposure.
We seek manuscript submissions that investigate:
- The co-occurrence of arsenic and uranium in soil, sediment, water, air, or other environmental media
- Exposure assessment studies addressing co-exposures to arsenic and uranium
- Spatial analysis of arsenic and uranium co-occurrence in environmental media
- Health studies investigating human health outcomes associated with co-exposure to arsenic and uranium
We encourage submissions that include community partnerships with underrepresented minority populations in semi-urban and rural areas.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
