Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well known, exposure assessment generally includes information on the source and identity of chemical agents, the concentration of each toxicant in various media, and the toxicity of identified toxicants as defined in experimental studies. Thus, environmental exposure epidemiological methods examine the association between the effects of environmental agents on human health. Environmental epidemiology, on the other hand, is more often used to conduct hypothesis-based research that seeks to examine vulnerable populations or communities to clarify the relationship between adverse health effects and physical, biological, and chemical factors. Environmental exposures for the purposes of epidemiological research may broadly focus on exposure assessment for site remediation, mitigation, control, human health risk assessment, etc. Environmental exposures and epidemiological studies are needed to examine exposure to toxics and health effects and improve the availability of evidence for driving environmental policies to mitigation and prevention of environmental toxics in various media (air, water, food, and objects) presenting risks to human health. Thus, this Special Issue aims to share new information on monitoring, modeling, assigning exposure, and assessing associations with adverse health effects. Innovative articles responding to this issue should report original findings, reviews, and methods relevant to environmental exposures and epidemiology studies.
