期刊介绍：

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene is one of the world's leading researchjournals in the field of recognizing, quantifying, removing, or controllinghazards and risks to health from work.

We are interested in:

1\recognition and quantification of exposure and risk and their relationship;
2\management and communication of risks;
3\control techniques, and development of standards of control;
4\basic mechanisms, for example of hazards or control.

We expect papers to use up-to-date approaches to quantifying exposure and riskresulting from work, and we welcome papers that help develop researchtechniques on these. Exposures of interest are traditionally chemical, physicaland biological agents, but may also include ergonomic risks, psychosocial orphysiological stressors, or injury risks if they have lessons for the study ofrisk to health at work or its control.

There is heavypressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do notusually publish papers which report local conditions without lessons that canbe applied more generally, or on health effects without information oncausative agents or exposure which could lead to better control, or oninfection control unless the risk is mainly occupational. A key question weapply to submissions is, "Is this paper going to help readers betterquantify and control risk to health resulting from work?"
