ACS Chemical Health and Safety

Aims & Scope

While safety permeates all ACS journals, it benefits from its preeminence in ACS Chemical Health & Safety where its authors influence chemical safety and guide tomorrow’s science.

Chemical safety research can be transformational and innovative, and it can also focus on practice and be narrowly scoped.

This includes foundational datasets or variations on well-studied themes because they hold value to those working with hazardous materials.

ACS Chemical Health & Safety provides the opportunity to publish across all these areas.

As a discipline, chemical health and safety does not limit itself to laboratories and chemical facilities, and our authors are more than just chemists and chemical engineers; they are scientists with broad research backgrounds and members of the public from many disciplines, including environmental safety and health professionals, industrial hygienists, public health professionals, safety policy makers, human factors specialists, and more.
