Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Aims & Scope

Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology publishes review articles pertaining to the sources, transport, fate and effects of contaminants in the environment.

The journal provides a place for the publication of critical reviews of the current knowledge and understanding of environmental sciences in order to provide insight into contaminant pathways, fate and behavior in environmental compartments and the possible consequences of their presence, with multidisciplinary contributions from the fields of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biology, ecology, molecular and cellular biology (in an environmental context), and human, wildlife and environmental toxicology.

This journal does not typically consider submissions dealing with technical aspects of occupational exposure and effects in humans, wastewater treatment and effluent characterization, or remediation of contaminated sites.

However, submissions addressing one of these topic areas may be considered where there exists a strong link to the receiving environment, and/or the identification of emerging contaminants of concern.

All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field.

Reviewers will be asked to consider coverage and critical appraisal of the subject, originality , relevance, and impact to the wider scientific community.

Authors writing English as a second language are encouraged to have their manuscript edited by a primary English language speaker or by a professional editing firm.
