Groundwater for Sustainable Development
Affiliated with the International Society of Groundwater for Sustainable DevelopmentMany professionals believe that sharing knowledge and experience on groundwater matters on a worldwide scale and across disciplines is an effective strategy to identify and promote optimal approaches to the assessment, development and management of groundwater resources. This is exactly what the international journal of Groundwater for Sustainable Development is intending to address. On the global platform, the authors and readers of the journal should enjoy all the benefits of global interdisciplinary collaborative information exchange, facilitated by the Information Technology and on-line access to the journals content.The journal is directed to different stakeholders and professionals, including government and non-governmental organizations, international funding agencies, universities, public water institutions, public health and other public/private sector professionals, and other relevant institutions. It is aimed at professionals, academics and students in the fields of disciplines such as: groundwater and its connection to surface hydrology and environment, soil sciences, engineering, ecology, microbiology, atmospheric sciences, analytical chemistry, hydro-engineering, water technology, environmental ethics, economics, public health, policy, as well as social sciences, legal disciplines, or any other area connected with water issues.The objectives of this journal are to facilitate: • The improvement of effective and sustainable management of water resources across the globe. • The improvement of human access to groundwater resources in adequate quantity and good quality. • The meeting of the increasing demand for drinking and irrigation water needed for food security to contribute to a social and economically sound human development. • The creation of a global inter- and multidisciplinary platform and forum to improve our understanding of groundwater resources and to advocate their effective and sustainable management and protection against contamination. • Interdisciplinary information exchange and to stimulate scientific research in the fields of groundwater related sciences and social and health sciences required to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for sustainable development.This journal intends to become the international forum for groundwater research oriented towards the solution of problems of great social impact rather than only breakthrough research in physical and chemical issues.ScopePrincipa... areas covered by the journal are:• Hydrogeological systems and sustainable groundwater resources management • Groundwater contamination and protection • Groundwater vulnerability and risk assessment • Groundwater quality and food safety • Epidemiology and public health impacts of groundwater contamination • Groundwater treatment and remediation • Hydroeconomics • Water policy • Social aspects of groundwater • Water and education • Water - Energy - Food nexus • Impact of Climate Change on GroundwaterLocal or regional scale case studies lacking international relevance will not be considered.- ISSN: 2352-801X
NanoImpact
NanoImpact - an International Journal of Particle Safety Research - is a multidisciplinary journal that focuses on engineered and environmental particle and advanced material safety research such as micro-nanoplastics, ambient particles and engineered nanomaterials. Materials of interest to NanoImpact are micro- and nanoplastics, advanced materials including manufactured but also incidental nanomaterials and ultrafine particles. As such it will publish in the following areas:• All aspects of micro- and nanoplastics research related to the topics listed below • Human Nanotoxicology - nano-bio interactions and effects on human health • Econanotoxicology - nano-bio interactions and effects on organism and ecosystem health • Exposure - nanomaterial formation, release, transformation fate and behavior in the environment and human/engineered systems • Applications in agricultural systems if a clear connection to implications is made • Risk Assessment and Life Cycle Assessment • Nano-informatics - modelling, data curation • Nano-governance - policy, regulation, perceptionNanoImpact DOES NOT publish articles describing synthesis of new nanomaterials.

Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology
Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Epidemiology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides a home for high quality work which straddles the areas of GIS, epidemiology, exposure science, and spatial statistics. The journal focuses on answering epidemiological questions where spatial and spatio-temporal approaches are appropriate. The methods should help to advance our understanding of infectious and non-infectious diseases in humans.The journal will also consider applications where health care provision is the focus. Coverage of veterinary topics will be included, and those with direct human health implications are especially welcome. The journal places special emphasis on spatio-temporal aspects of emerging diseases (e.g. COVID-19, avian flu, SARS), development of spatial statistical and computational methods, and novel applications of geospatial technology (e.g., GPS, GIS) for shedding insights on exposure and disease processes.- ISSN: 1877-5845

Justification of exposure concentrations/doses are required. The section encourages assessment of environmentally relevant exposure levels and/or inclusion of dose-respons assessment to underpin risk assessment processes. The section also welcome controlled studies to address toxicokinetic and realistic target tissue doses, and studies providing causality to exposure-effect associations from epidemiological or environmental observations.Air, soil, sediment, water and food chemical pollutants and healthToxicokinetics and toxicodynamicsEffect... of chemical mixtures and complex exposuresEmerging contaminants and novel effectsRisk assessmentCausation evaluationNaturally occurring toxins are not a prioritized topic, unless their effects are clearly linked to consequences of anthropogenic activities such as climate change or eutrophication.
