Aims & Scope

Particle and Fibre Toxicology is a leading multi-disciplinary journal focused on understanding the physical and chemical properties of particles and fibres in relation to exposure and the resulting adverse human health effects (toxicity). Particle and Fibre Toxicology is fully open access and expertly peer-reviewed, functioning as a forum for debate and communication among scientists that produce and develop particle and fibre materials, including toxicology, material sciences, biomaterials, nanomedicine and other adjacent fields. The journal welcomes research on a diverse range of topics and provides a single, identifiable outlet for all these disciplines.
