Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of xenobiotics, which are foreign chemical substances that can be found in or introduced into living organisms and the environment. Research investigates the sources, detection, and toxicological effects of these substances, including environmental contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, as well as naturally occurring compounds with medicinal properties. The journal also explores the biological responses to xenobiotic exposure, such as oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and impacts on various organ systems, and examines methods for risk assessment and potential mitigation strategies.
