The journal publishes original research findings and occasional interpretative reviews on the toxic effects in plants, animals or humans of natural or synthetic chemical occurring in the human environment. In addition, studies relating to food, water, and other consumer products, papers on industrial and agricultural chemical and pharmaceuticals are encouraged. Furthermore, new areas such as safety evaluation of petroleum exploration, novel food manufacture and biotechnologically derived products and inter-relationship between environmental contamination and toxicology are welcomed. Studies addressing the physiological, anatomical biochemical or pathological changes produced by specific substances, techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including toxic phenomena, and all aspects of in-vivo toxicology will be covered. In other words, papers from health, science, engineering and social science will be considered provided the tests and reporting meet current standards of adequacy.
