Unraveling the Health Impacts of Toxic Exposures

This research topic delves into the intricate interplay between toxic exposures and the ensuing injuries and illnesses, employing a comprehensive approach to unravel the nuanced mechanisms at play. Focusing particularly on tropical regions, where the challenges are distinct, the collection underscores the diverse spectrum of toxic compounds. From Heavy Metals (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and Industrial Chemicals (e.g., benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, vinyl chloride) to Pesticides and Herbicides (e.g., DDT, glyphosate, organophosphates), Air Pollutants (e.g., ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter), Food Additives (e.g., monosodium glutamate, aspartame, sodium nitrate/nitrite), Household Chemicals (e.g., formaldehyde, chloroform, phthalates), Water Contaminants (e.g., chlorine and chloramine, fluoride, PCBs), Biological Toxins (e.g., mycotoxins, bacterial toxins), Medications and Drugs (some pharmaceuticals if not used properly or in excess), Radiation (ionizing radiation from sources like X-rays and radioactive materials), innovative/emerging nanomaterials in consumer products, to Venoms from Venomous Animals, this collection of studies aims not only to deepen our understanding of toxic components but also to inform the development of advanced preventive strategies, diagnostics, and interventions. By addressing the unique challenges posed by toxic exposures, this Research Topic endeavors to contribute valuable insights to the field. We cordially invite the submission of original articles, reviews, case reports, opinions, and related studies on this Research Topic to Frontiers in Tropical Diseases.
