“Advances in the Conceptualization and Study of Environmental Exposures in Relation to Occupational Health”

This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in controlling occupational exposures and promoting occupational health and safety. Contributions examining exposures in the work environment using newer methods (e.g., Bayesian model averaging) or instruments (e.g., wearable sensors) as well as studies involving newer conceptualizations of the work environment (e.g., remote work) and workplace hazards (e.g., poor safety culture) are encouraged. Manuscripts presenting novel interventions targeting these exposures or addressing vulnerable populations are also welcome. Submissions may include studies using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods with primary or secondary data. All manuscripts will be subject to peer review to ensure quality publications.…
