International Journal of Environmental Health Research

Aims & Scope

International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health.

Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles.

IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health.

This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: 1.The natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; 2.The built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and 3.Communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects.

IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.

The Journal is available to IFEH members for personal use at a special reduced rate.
