JOURNAL OF TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH-PART A-CURRENT ISSUES

Now published twenty-four times per year, this authoritative journal features strictly refereed original research in the field of environmental toxicology in general as well as in special interest fields such as target organ toxicities, immunotoxicology, risk assessment, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, ecotoxicology, environmental factors affecting health, and aquatic toxicology. Emphasis is on the toxicological effects of natural and anthropogenic environmental pollutants and their action on both intact organisms and in vitro systems. Increased attention is being placed on the results of epidemiological studies of select groups of workers in exposed populations. To facilitate the timely publication of short articles, the journal has added a new Rapid Communications section, keeping readers on top of important new developments in the field, as they happen. Also published are refereed critical reviews in scientific areas of current toxicological interest.

目前，该权威期刊每年出版24期，严格引用环境毒理学领域的原始研究成果，包括目标器官毒性、免疫毒理学、风险评估、致癌、诱变、生态毒理学、影响健康的环境因素、水生毒理学等。重点是自然和人为环境污染物的毒理学效应及其对完整生物体和体外系统的作用。目前正更多地注意对暴露人口中选定的工人群体进行流行病学研究的结果。为了促进短文章的及时出版，该期刊增加了一个新的快速通讯板块，让读者随时掌握该领域的重要新进展。同时发表了当前毒理学研究领域的评论。
