Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety is a multidisciplinary journal focused on mechanistic understanding of toxicological effects of environmental contaminants on organisms and human health. Its scope spans ecotoxicology, environmental safety, and environmental chemistry, including mechanistic studies in aquatic and terrestrial organisms, epidemiological and toxicological studies with causal insight, computational risk assessment supported by experimental validation, and hypothesis-driven research on contaminant fate, effects, and remediation.
