The role of Reviews is to publish detailed scientific review articles on all aspects
ofenvironmental contamination and associated toxicological consequences. Such
articlesfacilitate the often complex task of accessing and interpreting cogent
scientificdata within the confines of one or more closely related research fields.
In the nearly 50 years since Reviews of Environmental Contamination andToxi
cology (formerly Residue Reviews) was first published, the number, scope, andcom
plexity of environmental pollution incidents have grown unabated. During thisentire
period, the emphasis has been on publishing articles that address the presenceand
toxicity of environmental contaminants. New research is published each yearon a
myriad of environmental pollution issues facing people worldwide. This fact,and
the routine discovery and reporting of new environmental contamination cases,creates
an increasingly important function for Reviews.
The staggering volume of scientific literature demands remedy by which data
canbe synthesized and made available to readers in an abridged form. Reviews
addressesthis need and provides detailed reviews worldwide to key scientists and
science orpolicy administrators, whether employed by government, universities, or
the privatesector. |
