Since its launch, the Journal of Environmental Exposure Assessment (JEEA) has aimed to provide a high-quality platform for publishing research that advances our understanding of human and wildlife exposure to environmental contaminants. To date, our scope has focused primarily on chemical exposures, with particular emphasis on both organic and inorganic chemicals and their impacts on human and ecological health.
However, the world of environmental exposures is rapidly evolving. Mounting evidence demonstrates that environmental and health risks extend far beyond traditional chemical contaminants. In addition to the well-established threats posed by organic and inorganic chemicals, biological contaminants - including bacteria, viruses, and antibiotic resistance genes - pose urgent and growing concerns for both human and ecosystem health. Likewise, physical stressors such as noise and light pollution are increasingly recognized as important drivers of disease burden and ecological disruption. Together, these stressors highlight the need for a broader and more integrated understanding of environmental exposures.
In recognition of these pressing challenges, we are pleased to announce that, effective immediately, JEEA is widening its scope. We now welcome manuscripts that address human and wildlife exposure not only to chemical contaminants, but also to biological and physical agents such as pathogens, antibiotic resistance, noise, and artificial light. By embracing this expanded vision, JEEA seeks to reflect the complexity of real-world exposures, promote cross-disciplinary collaboration, and foster innovative approaches to assessing the impacts of multiple environmental stressors.
We warmly invite researchers to consider JEEA as a home for their work in this expanded arena. JEEA is committed to ensuring a fair and efficient review process, and to enhancing the visibility and impact of accepted contributions. We firmly believe that by broadening our scope, JEEA will better serve the scientific community and contribute more effectively to safeguarding environmental and human health in the face of emerging global challenges.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and to working with you in advancing this exciting and vital field.
