Topics We Accept

We welcome manuscripts addressing the environmental transmission, detection, prevention, and control of pathogens in air and water systems. Submissions should demonstrate clear methodology, ethical compliance, and relevance to public health practice.

Waterborne Pathogens

Microbial contamination in drinking water, groundwater, and aquatic ecosystems.
We seek studies on detection, persistence, treatment, and outbreak investigation.

Airborne Transmission

Aerosol dynamics, indoor air quality, and respiratory pathogen dispersal.
We welcome research on ventilation, bioaerosols, and exposure assessment.

Environmental Surveillance

Wastewater epidemiology, molecular detection, and real-time monitoring.
We prioritize sensor technologies, genomic methods, and early warning systems.

Intervention and Policy

Disinfection, filtration, climate impact, and sanitation infrastructure.
We encourage evidence linking interventions to measurable health outcomes.

Manuscript Types

The journal accepts multiple manuscript formats to ensure environmental health evidence reaches practitioners and policymakers quickly. All submissions receive rigorous peer review by domain specialists.

R

Original research articles with clear statistical analysis and reproducible methods.

SR

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses following PRISMA or equivalent guidelines.

OI

Outbreak investigations and environmental surveillance reports with public health implications.

SC

Short communications and technical notes for rapid dissemination of findings.

MP

Methods and protocols describing novel detection or treatment techniques.

RV

Narrative and scoping reviews synthesizing evidence on emerging environmental threats.
