Message from
the Editor-in-Chief
Addressing the environmental and
public health challenges requires
engagement and collaboration among
clinicians and public health researchers.
Scientific discoveries and advances in
this research field play a critical role in
providing a rational basis for informed
decision-making toward control
and prevention of human diseases,
especially the illnesses that are induced
from environmental exposure to health
hazards.
IJERPH provides a forum for discussion
of discoveries and knowledge in these
multidisciplinary fields. Please consider
publishing your research in this high
quality peer-reviewed journal.
