The Journal of Applied Toxicology focuses on the practical application of toxicological principles to assess and mitigate risks associated with chemical exposures. The journal's scope includes research on adverse effects in humans and the environment, spanning from mechanistic studies to risk assessment. It examines the impact of various agents, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and environmental pollutants.
Key topics covered include genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. The journal also publishes research on toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, aiming to understand how chemicals move through and affect the body. Indexed in major databases like CAS, Scopus, and Web of Science, the Journal of Applied Toxicology serves researchers, regulators, and industry professionals interested in advancing our understanding of applied toxicology.
The journal aims to improve risk assessment practices and offers a call to action for researchers to submit high-quality work that may help shape future toxicological studies, regulations, and prevention strategies. By providing an open forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research and insights, the journal facilitates the ongoing effort to promote safer chemical handling and environmental protection.
