This Special Issue will provide accurate toxicity and exposure data in the laboratory and beyond. Submit your manuscript by February 28, 2025.
ACS Chemical Health and Safety (ACS CHAS) is calling for papers for a Special Issue that represents different types of chemical exposures that workers, researchers, and the public may encounter. The prevention, mitigation, management, and response of occupational chemical exposures (chronic and acute) is a multiverse. This Special Issue will showcase high-impact contributions in the field by collating perspectives and research from all the relevant disciplines such as toxicology, industrial and chemical hygiene, chemistry, engineering, epidemiology, health, education, public health and public policy.
There has been tremendous progress and development to establish accurate toxicities and exposure limits as well as countless efforts to support productivity while protecting human health. This issue aims at capturing and disseminating both the current research, new developments and studies as well challenges, creative solutions, best practices, and accounts from the “trenches”. The intentional multidisciplinary perspective adopted here is essential for a scientifically valid understanding of potential risks and their mitigation.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Occupational and environmental exposures
- Toxicology and toxicological studies
- Epidemiology
- Chemical safety education
- Public health and public safety accounts
- Chemical hygiene
- Chemical safety and safety culture management
- Modeling of chemical exposure
