Aims and Scope
Journal of Public Health and Environmental Research (ISSN: 3108-3196) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research at the intersection of public health, environmental health, and population well-being. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, public health professionals, environmental scientists, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and related disciplines to publish evidence-based research addressing major health and environmental challenges.
The journal aims to promote research that improves understanding of environmental determinants of health, prevents disease, reduces health inequalities, and supports sustainable and healthy communities. It welcomes epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, community-based, environmental, behavioral, policy, and interdisciplinary research.
Scope
Public Health: Research addressing population health, disease prevention, health promotion, health services, and strategies to improve community well-being.
Environmental Health: Studies examining how environmental conditions and exposures influence human health and contribute to disease and health outcomes.
Environmental Epidemiology: Research investigating relationships between environmental exposures, risk factors, disease patterns, and population health outcomes.
Air Pollution and Health: Studies on the health effects of indoor and outdoor air pollution, particulate matter, gases, aerosols, and other airborne contaminants.
Water Quality and Health: Research on drinking water quality, water contamination, sanitation, waterborne diseases, and health risks associated with unsafe water.
Waste Management and Public Health: Studies examining solid waste, hazardous waste, biomedical waste, waste disposal practices, recycling, and their implications for human health and the environment.
Climate Change and Health: Research on the health consequences of climate change, extreme weather, heat exposure, changing disease patterns, and climate-related health risks.
Occupational and Environmental Safety: Studies addressing workplace exposures, occupational hazards, environmental risks, workplace health, and strategies for protecting workers and communities.
Infectious Diseases and Environmental Factors: Research examining environmental determinants, transmission pathways, and prevention of infectious and vector-borne diseases.
Non-Communicable Diseases and Environmental Exposures: Studies investigating relationships between environmental pollutants, lifestyle factors, and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, cancer, and metabolic conditions.
Toxicology and Environmental Contaminants: Research on exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, persistent pollutants, and other environmental toxicants and their effects on human health.
Food Safety and Environmental Health: Studies addressing food contamination, chemical and biological hazards, foodborne diseases, food safety systems, and environmental factors affecting food safety.
Vector-Borne Diseases: Research on mosquitoes, ticks, and other disease vectors, including their ecology, distribution, environmental determinants, surveillance, and control.
Maternal, Child, and Environmental Health: Studies examining environmental exposures during pregnancy and childhood and their effects on maternal, neonatal, and child health.
Urban Health and Environmental Research: Research on urbanization, housing, transportation, green spaces, population density, environmental quality, and their effects on public health.
Rural and Community Health: Studies addressing environmental and public health challenges in rural, underserved, and vulnerable communities.
Mental Health and the Environment: Research examining relationships between environmental conditions, climate, urban environments, social surroundings, and mental and psychological well-being.
Health Promotion and Environmental Awareness: Studies on community education, environmental health literacy, behavioral interventions, and strategies to promote healthier and more sustainable lifestyles.
Environmental Justice and Health Inequalities: Research addressing unequal exposure to environmental hazards, vulnerable populations, social determinants of health, and disparities in environmental health outcomes.
Occupational Health: Studies on workplace diseases, occupational exposure, ergonomic and chemical hazards, worker safety, and preventive occupational health interventions.
Environmental Monitoring and Risk Assessment: Research involving environmental surveillance, exposure assessment, risk characterization, monitoring technologies, and identification of environmental health hazards.
Sustainable Development and Public Health: Studies examining the relationship between sustainable development, environmental protection, resource management, and population health.
Health Policy and Environmental Governance: Research on public health policies, environmental regulations, risk management, governance, and evidence-based approaches to environmental health protection.
One Health and Global Health: Interdisciplinary research connecting human, animal, and environmental health to address complex public health challenges at local, national, and global levels.
