About this journal

The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A , Current Issues is an authoritative journal that features strictly refereed original research in the field of environmental sciences, public and occupational health, and toxicology.

The journal considers articles on the following topics;

• target organ toxicities;
• risk assessment;
• carcinogenesis;
• mutagenesis;
• ecotoxicology;
• nanotoxicology;
• epidemiology;
• modeling;
• environmental factors affecting human and ecological health;
• aquatic toxicology.

The journal aims to emphasize the toxicological effects of natural and anthropogenic environmental pollutants and their actions on both intact organisms and in vitro systems. From a public perspective, another focus of the journal is the results of epidemiological studies on affected consumers and select groups of occupational workers.

Readership: Toxicologists, environmentalists, pharmacologists, health care professionals, biochemists, radiation biologists, epidemiologists, safety and public health administrators, physicians, oncologists, and hazardous substances operators.

While the journal is published 24 times per year, it also includes a Rapid Communications section to keep readers on top of important new developments in the field as they occur.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, will be peer-reviewed by independent and anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via Taylor & Francis Submission Portal.
