Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the toxicology of particles and fibers, particularly those encountered in the environment and occupational settings. Research investigates the adverse health effects of various particulate materials, including air pollutants, nanopesticides, brake wear particles, microplastics, nanoplastics, and carbon nanomaterials. Studies examine the mechanisms of toxicity, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage, and explore the impact of these particles on different organ systems, including the lungs, heart, liver, and reproductive system. The journal also covers the development and application of methodologies for assessing particle toxicity and characterizing their properties.
