食品和化學毒理學出版了關(guān)于人類環(huán)境中發(fā)生的天然或合成化學品對動物或人類的毒性影響的原始研究報告和偶爾的解釋性評論。除了與食品，水和其他消費品有關(guān)的研究外，還鼓勵提供有關(guān)工業(yè)和農(nóng)業(yè)化學品和藥品的論文。此外，歡迎新領域，如新食品和生物技術(shù)衍生產(chǎn)品的安全評估以及營養(yǎng)和毒理學之間的相互關(guān)系。這些研究可能涉及特定物質(zhì)誘發(fā)的生理，生化或病理變化，評估潛在毒性的技術(shù)，包括分子生物學或毒性現(xiàn)象的機制。涵蓋了體內(nèi)毒理學的所有方面，包括對特定器官系統(tǒng)的全身作用，免疫功能，致癌作用和致畸作用。如果測試和報告符合當前的充分標準，則無論結(jié)果的正面或負面性質(zhì)如何，都會公布報告特定化學品或消費品的毒理學檢查的論文。 “華爾街日報”的編輯政策反映了對支持健康和安全決策的高質(zhì)量科學的需求。 FCT愿意考慮更具監(jiān)管性的論文，只要它們是更一般的科學分析的一部分。接受后，這些論文將發(fā)布在法規(guī)毒理學部分。我們建議在提交監(jiān)管文件之前聯(lián)系該期刊的一位編輯。

Food and Chemical Toxicology publishes original research reports and occasional interpretative reviews on the toxic effects, in animals or humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment. In addition to studies relating to food, water and other consumer products, papers on industrial and agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals are encouraged. Furthermore new areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and biotechnologically derived products and inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology are welcomed. The studies may address the physiological, biochemical or pathological changes induced by specific substances, techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology or the mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena. All aspects of in vivo toxicology are covered, including systemic effects on specific organ systems, immune functions, carcinogenesis and teratogenesis. Papers reporting the toxicological examination of specific chemicals or consumer products are published irrespective of the positive or negative nature of the results, provided the tests and reporting meet current standards of adequacy. The Journal's editorial policy reflects the need for high-quality science in support of health and safety decisions. FCT is willing to consider papers of a more regulatory nature, provided they are part of a more general scientific analysis. On acceptance these papers will be published in a Regulatory Toxicology section. We recommend that before submitting a regulatory paper one of the editors of the journal is contacted.
