Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology is a scientific journal that publishes research findings related to the toxic and pharmacological effects of drugs (both human and veterinary) and environmental contaminants in animals and humans. The journal covers a range of areas, with special emphasis on:
- Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity: Exploring the molecular-level processes involved in toxic effects.
- Biotransformation and Toxicokinetics: Including toxicokinetic modeling to understand the transformation and kinetics of toxic substances.
- Inter-Species and Inter-Individual Sensitivity: Investigating differences in sensitivity to toxic substances between species and individuals at molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels.
- Pathophysiological Models: Characterizing models and mechanisms contributing to the development of toxic effects.
- Biological Markers: Identifying markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in both humans and animals.
The journal publishes various types of contributions, including full-length papers, short communications, reviews, mini-reviews, and in-depth assessments of special problem areas. In-depth assessments are comprehensive publications that may exceed the length of a full-length paper, and they are typically conducted under the guidance of international groups of leading experts in the relevant fields. The information considered can be previously published data or new data obtained through collaborative research programs.
