Scope

• The aims page promises rapid review and publication of clear, concise reports of current research for readers concerned with environmental contamination and toxicology, with scientific quality and clarity placed above length.宗旨页承诺对来稿快速审理与发表，刊出的是环境污染物与毒理学领域当前研究的清晰简报，科学质量与表述的清楚程度排在篇幅之前。
• Contamination is followed through the compartments where it settles, and air, surface water and groundwater, soil, sediment, house dust and food are all legitimate starting points for a paper.污染问题沿着它落脚的介质追踪，空气、地表水与地下水、土壤、沉积物、室内灰尘与食品都是合格的起点。
• Pesticides remain the historical core, and residue surveys of organochlorines, organophosphates, pyrethroids and current neonicotinoids still take a good share of each volume.农药是这本刊物的老本行，有机氯、有机磷、拟除虫菊酯以及当下的新烟碱类残留调查，至今仍占每卷相当篇幅。
• Heavy metals and metalloids are traced from mine tailings through paddy soil into rice grain, and speciation work on arsenic, mercury and chromium appears at a steady rate.重金属与类金属的追踪常从尾矿经稻田土壤走到稻米籽粒，砷、汞、铬的形态分析以稳定的数量出现。
• Persistent organic pollutants form another standing line, with polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, brominated flame retardants and organochlorine pesticides measured in sediment cores, fish flesh and bird eggs.持久性有机污染物是另一条常设线索，多氯联苯、二噁英、溴代阻燃剂与有机氯农药在沉积柱、鱼体与鸟卵中被测定。
• Newer chemicals arrive faster than the literature can absorb them, and papers on pharmaceuticals, personal care products, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances and microplastics now turn up in most issues.新化学品出现得比文献积累更快，药物、个人护理品、全氟与多氟化合物以及微塑料的论文如今多数期次都有。
• Analytical work is admitted on its own terms. A cleaner extraction, a lower limit of detection or a validated procedure for a difficult matrix can carry a short paper, provided the numbers behind it are complete.分析工作可以独立成篇，更干净的萃取、更低的检出限，或针对难处理基质经过验证的方法，只要背后的数据完整，就能撑起一篇短文。
• Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer run through much of the toxicology, with biota-sediment accumulation factors, stable isotope ratios and measured body burdens used to show where a compound ends up in a food web.生物累积与营养级传递贯穿多数毒理学稿件，生物-沉积物累积因子、稳定同位素比值与实测体内负荷被用来指认化合物在食物网中的落点。
• Standard toxicity testing keeps its place, from acute and chronic exposures with daphnids, algae, earthworms and zebrafish to sublethal endpoints such as enzyme activity, oxidative stress and histopathology.标准化毒性试验保有一席之地，从大型溞、藻类、蚯蚓与斑马鱼的急性与慢性暴露，到酶活性、氧化胁迫与组织病理这类亚致死终点。
• Fate and transport studies ask where a substance goes rather than what it does, covering sorption, leaching, photolysis, biodegradation and the short-range movement of dust and runoff.归趋与迁移研究问的是物质去了哪里，覆盖吸附、淋溶、光解、生物降解，以及灰尘与径流的短距离搬运。
• Remediation and treatment are treated as contamination problems run backwards, and biosorption, phytoremediation, constructed wetlands, activated carbon and advanced oxidation sit beside monitoring work on equal terms.修复与治理被当作污染问题倒过来看，生物吸附、植物修复、人工湿地、活性炭与高级氧化同监测研究并列对待。
• Human exposure enters through biomonitoring, with blood, urine, hair and breast milk used to estimate body burdens in occupationally exposed workers and in communities living near industry.人体暴露经生物监测进入版面，血液、尿液、头发与母乳被用来估计职业接触人群与工业区周边居民的体内负荷。
• Risk assessment closes the loop, and hazard quotients, dietary intake estimates, guideline values and food safety limits give a measured concentration its public meaning.风险评估为这类工作收口，危害商、膳食摄入估计、指导值与食品安全限量给实测浓度一个公共层面的含义。
• Regional survey work supplies much of the raw material, and river basins, estuaries, lakes, urban soils and mining districts are reported as cases rather than folded into continental syntheses.区域性调查提供大量素材，流域、河口、湖泊、城市土壤与矿区多以个案形式报告，很少合并成跨大陆的综合整理。

History

• The first volume appeared in 1966 under the imprint Springer-Verlag New York, in a period when pesticide residues had become a public question and the analytical chemistry able to answer it was newly portable.第 1 卷于 1966 年在 Springer-Verlag New York 名下问世，那时农药残留已是公共议题，能够回答这一问题的分析化学手段也刚刚变得便于携带。
• John Hylin, a pesticide chemist at the University of Hawaii, held the editor's chair until 1978, and the habit of the short report took shape under him.首任主编是夏威夷大学的农药化学家 John Hylin，任职至 1978 年，短报告的体例在这一时期成形。
• Yutaka Iwata of the University of California, Riverside followed from 1978 to 1983, a brief tenure in a journal whose editors otherwise stay for decades.加州大学河滨分校的 Yutaka Iwata 于 1978 年至 1983 年接任，在这本主编任期普遍以十年计的刊物里属于短的一任。
• Herbert N. Nigg, at the University of Florida's Lake Alfred citrus research station, then edited the title from 1983 to 2012, twenty-nine years that span the passage from residue monitoring to ecotoxicology.此后由佛罗里达大学莱克艾尔弗雷德柑橘研究站的 Herbert N. Nigg 主持，1983 年至 2012 年，二十九年，正好跨过从残留监测走向生态毒理学的阶段。
• Erin Bennett, at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research in Windsor, Ontario, succeeded him and holds the post today.现任主编为安大略省温莎大学大湖环境研究所的 Erin Bennett，她在 Nigg 之后接任，任职至今。
• Early volumes came six times a year, and the National Library of Medicine still records the January 1971 number as a combined January/February issue, a trace of that slower rhythm.早期每年出六期，美国国家医学图书馆至今把 1971 年 1 月那一期记作 1 月与 2 月的合刊，旧日节奏就留在这条记录里。
• Indexing in MEDLINE and PubMed begins with volume 6, number 1, so the first five volumes stand outside the biomedical index and are reached only through the publisher's platform.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 的收录从第 6 卷第 1 期起算，最初五卷不在生物医学索引之内，只能经出版方平台查阅。
• One volume covered a year in the early run, volume 6 arriving in 1971, while the pace later roughly doubled, and volume 117 falls in 2026.早年一年一卷，第 6 卷落在 1971 年，后来卷号推进的速度差不多翻倍，第 117 卷出现在 2026 年。
• Crossref registers the fifth number of volume 117 under October 2026, and the file runs to 15382 records accumulated over sixty years.Crossref 把第 117 卷第 5 期登记在 2026 年 10 月，六十年间累计登记记录 15382 条。
• The publishing house changed hands without changing the title. Springer-Verlag New York became part of Springer Science+Business Media, and the 2015 merger with Nature Publishing Group and Macmillan put the journal inside Springer Nature.出版方几经易主而刊名未变，Springer-Verlag New York 并入 Springer Science+Business Media，2015 年与 Nature Publishing Group 及 Macmillan 合并后归入 Springer Nature。
• The print number 0007-4861 has been constant since 1966, and the electronic edition added 1432-0800 once the journal went online.纸本刊号 0007-4861 自 1966 年未变，网络版上线后另配 1432-0800。
• Access stayed subscription-based with an open option on individual articles, and gold open access accounted for 9.67 per cent of the 2025 papers.发行以订阅为主，单篇可以选择开放，2025 年金色开放获取论文占 9.67%。
• Impact factors over the last five years read 2.151 for 2021, 2.807 for 2022, 2.7 for 2023, 2.2 for 2024 and 1.9 for 2025, against a five-year figure of 2.6.近五年影响因子依次为 2021 年 2.151，2022 年 2.807，2023 年 2.7，2024 年 2.2，2025 年 1.9，五年影响因子为 2.6。
• The 2025 rankings place it 318th of 395 in environmental sciences and 92nd of 106 in toxicology, both Q4, with a percentile of 19.6 and a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.5.2025 年排名为环境科学 395 种中第 318 位，毒理学 106 种中第 92 位，同属 Q4，百分位 19.6，期刊引文指标 0.5。
• Annual output runs near 171 citable items spread over twelve monthly numbers, and a cited half-life of 8.7 years keeps old volumes in use long after they were printed.全年可引用论文约 171 篇，分摊到十二个月号，8.7 年的引用半衰期让旧卷在印出多年之后仍被查阅。

Editors

• Erin Bennett, the editor-in-chief, works at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research at the University of Windsor in Ontario, where her own research concerns contaminants in large lake systems.主编 Erin Bennett 任职于安大略省温莎大学的大湖环境研究所，本人的研究围绕大型湖泊系统中的污染物。
• A tier of senior editors carries the subject load, among them Graciela Arbilla of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Mace Barron of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at Gulf Breeze and Mirco Bundschuh of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala.一批资深编辑分担学科方向的把关，其中包括里约热内卢联邦大学的 Graciela Arbilla、美国环保署墨西哥湾比奇实验站的 Mace Barron，以及瑞典农业科学大学乌普萨拉校区的 Mirco Bundschuh。
• The same tier includes Parthasarathi Chakraborty of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Cheng Gu of Nanjing University, Ken G. Drouillard of Windsor and Dan Call, an independent analyst in Dubuque, Iowa.这一层还有印度理工学院卡拉格普尔分校的 Parthasarathi Chakraborty、南京大学的 Cheng Gu、温莎大学的 Ken G. Drouillard，以及爱荷华州迪比克的分析师 Dan Call。
• Brazil, Sweden, India, China, Canada and the United States each supply at least one senior editor, a spread that follows the geography of recent submissions.巴西、瑞典、印度、中国、加拿大与美国各出至少一位资深编辑，这一分布与近年投稿的来源地相合。
• Review is organised for speed. The aims promise rapid review and publication, and the short format keeps a manuscript small enough for two referees to read closely within weeks.评审以快为先，宗旨写明快速审理与发表，短小的篇幅让一篇稿子可以在数周内被两位评审人细读。
• Manuscripts enter through Editorial Manager, where a submission receives a number and all correspondence stays on the record rather than in private mail.稿件经 Editorial Manager 提交，上传后取得编号，此后往来都留在系统记录里，不走私人邮件。
• The house rule is that scientific quality and clarity are paramount, a phrase the aims state outright, and there is little room for a paper that needs a long setup to justify itself.刊物的底线明写在宗旨里，科学质量与清楚程度最为要紧，需要长篇铺垫才能说明价值的稿件在这里不易通过。
• Research reports fill nearly every page and review articles are a small remainder, which keeps the journal a place for findings rather than for syntheses of a field.研究类报告几乎填满每一期，综述只占很小一部分，学科层面的综合整理在这里很少见。
• The wider board is large and international, members join by invitation from the editor-in-chief, and several Chinese universities and institutes now have a seat at that table.编委会规模较大且国际化，成员由主编邀请加入，中国若干高校与研究机构目前在其中有席位。
• Corrections and retractions follow the publisher's ethics rules and appear as separate linked items, so a reader can see what was altered and when.更正与撤稿按出版方的伦理规程处理，作为独立条目与原文互链，读者可以看到改动的内容与时间。
