Particle and Fibre Toxicology

Particle and Fibre Toxicology publishes research in toxicology focused on the physico-chemistry of particles, human exposure and biological outcomes, and regulatory issues in the workplace and general environment. The journal welcomes submissions on scenarios where particles may pose a toxicological threat due to new applications of old materials or the introduction of new materials.
