Special Issues
 
The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine published a December supplement, “Deployment Exposures, Biomarkers, and Health Outcomes” with a number of articles, including:
 
The journal Frontiers in Endocrinology published a special issue on Endocrine Disruptors and Metabolism. All the papers have previously been listed here so I won’t list them again, but the introductory piece, Editorial: Endocrine Disruptors and Metabolism, was just published.
