Environmental Toxicology is a journal providing a forum to advance the scientific understanding of all aspects of environmental contaminants and their toxicological impacts on all living organisms. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for publishing innovative research, comprehensive reviews, and critical insights into the complex interactions between environmental pollution, and ecosystems.

The scope of Environmental Toxicology includes, the following areas, Environmental Pollutants, Toxicant Behavior and Environmental Chemistry, Ecotoxicology, Aquatic Toxicology and Ecosystem Health, Mechanisms of Toxicity, Emerging Contaminants and Challenges, Risk Assessment and Management, Pollution Mitigation and Remediation, Human Health and the Environmental Interface. Submissions missing a clear toxicological connection to evaluate the impacts of environmental contaminants on ecosystems or populations are beyond the scope of this journal.
