Overview

  • Offers fundamental research on the effects of toxic chemicals on populations, communities and terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems
  • Shows how chemicals exert effects on ecosystems, examines their impact at the population and community level
  • Includes original papers, technical notes and review articles
  • 96% of authors who answered a survey reported that they would definitely publish or probably publish in the journal again

Ecotoxicology is an international journal devoted to presenting fundamental research on the effects of toxic chemicals on populations, communities and terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. It elucidates mechanisms and processes whereby chemicals exert their effects on ecosystems, and examines the impact caused at the population or community level.

The journal is not restricted with respect to taxon or biome, presenting papers that indicate possible new approaches to regulation and control of toxic chemicals and that formulate ways of conserving threatened species. The journal includes not only original research papers but technical notes and review articles, both invited and submitted. A strong, broadly based editorial board ensures as wide an international coverage as possible.
