Abstract
The scope of this Special Issue is to pay attention to various aspects of toxicology specifically focused on the chemical and biological threats, which may accidentally, or on purpose, endanger human health. Besides the characterization of such threats and their biological consequences, we will focus on the available and novel experimental countermeasures able to provide protection from and/or threaten such exposures.
In particular, we have focused, in this Special Issue, on the neuroprotective approaches against organophosphorus poisoning, decontamination approaches against organophosphates and sulphur mustard. From a civilian sphere, we bring original reports that describe the occupational exposure risk to phthalates and diacetyl, commonly occurring plastic components and flavoring additives, respectively, and their health consequences.
Finally, we present a review focused on micro and nanoplastics, their relation to human health and their exposure routes through the environment.
