Process Safety and Environmental Protection
Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering: Part BPSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.Papers that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects, demonstrating how research results can be used in process engineering design and practice, are particularly encouraged. Experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research will also be considered. The journal is especially interested in contributions that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering as well as in multidisciplinary papers.Papers related to environmental protection must take an integrated pollution control approach, demonstrating clearly that any proposed treatment method does not simply transfer pollution from one environmental medium to another, for example, from air to water or from water to solid waste. All such papers must discuss how any treatment effluents, spent adsorbents, etc., can be treated or disposed of safely, avoiding transfer of pollution to another environmental medium.For environmental protection, papers that are outside the scope are those that lack engineering aspects, including those that:use experimental techniques primarily to prepare and/or characterise various materials without considerations of process engineering design and practice;present primarily laboratory experiments of the effects of different parameters on behaviour of materials and pollutants (e.g. pH, temperature, mass of adsorbent, etc.) without further insights into the implications for engineering design and practice;focus primarily on adsorption models and curve fitting (e.g. Freundlich, Langmuir etc.); andcontain only chemical, physical and/or thermodynamic analyses.Core topic areas:Risk Assessment and Reliability EngineeringRisk assessment, risk management, consequence analysis, and uncertainty quantificationSupply chain risk managementCyber and physical security vulnerability assessmentRisk assessment of hydrogen-based technologiesHuman reliability analysis (HRA) and human-machine interface (HMI)Reliability predictions of integrated systems and high-temperature power electronicsIntegrity management and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM)Technical Safety and Loss PreventionFire and gas detectionFirewater systemsFunctional safety and safety integrity levels (SIL)Layer of protection analysis (LOPA)Bowtie analysisEmergency responseHAZOP and other hazard/risk identification techniquesModellingM... liquid, gaseous, and two-phase releases and dispersionConsequenc... modelling, including: fire, explosion, toxic, eco-toxic effects and projectile impactsMethods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Accident investigation and modellingChemical Toxicity and Exposure AssessmentToxic releases and exposure assessmentProcess plant health issues.Process Pipelines, Storage and SecurityProcess pipelines security and terrorismPipeline leak detection and measurement and corrosion assessmentCarbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 transportFire and ExplosionFire, combustion, and explosion phenomenaDust explosionsFire and blast protection and survivabilityHuman Factors in Design and ManagementHSE performance measurement including leading and lagging indicatorsHuman and organizational factors in safety casesHuman performance optimization by designSIMOPS (simultaneous operations)Situation... awarenessCommunicati... and risk control systemsResilience engineeringTechnical assurance and workforce trainingInherent Safety and Inherently Safer DesignHazard identificationDesign and development of new processes and equipmentMethodologi... for ranking inherent safetyRetrofitting inherently safer solutions and upgrading existing plant for improved safetyEnergy SafetyNuclear reactor protective and monitoring systemsSmall modular reactor safetyEnergy storage (e.g., metal hydride) safetyElectrochemica... system (e.g., fuel cells, batteries) safetySafety throughout the life cycle of the energy system Safety of novel energy systems (e.g., ammonia) Reaction HazardsChemical thermal stability and thermal reaction hazardsInfluence of impurities on reaction hazardsDevelopment of reactivity hazard index ranking toolsRunaway reactions, including detection and mitigationCompatibil... of chemicals involved in a chemical processIndustrial Hazards and Safety CasesMajor accident hazards ALARP and cost-benefit analysisIndustrial safety casesIncident investigations and case historiesCase histories of incidents and lessons learned integration into design and operationsTechnical analysis of incidentsComputation... modelling to simulate actual incidentsUse of incidents in training and improvement of safety performanceIncident investigation methodologiesInciden... databases and their applicationsAir pollution prevention and treatmentMethods and technologies for prevention and treatment of air pollutionAir dispersion modelling Prediction and mitigation of air pollution incidentsHealth impacts from air pollutionResource and waste managementRecovery and recycling of materials and productsEnergy from waste and alternative resourcesWaste minimisationWaste treatment technologiesWaste management: systems and processes for energy and material recovery and waste treatment;

Chemico-Biological Interactions
A journal of molecular, cellular and biochemical toxicologyChemico-Bi... Interactions publishes research reports and review articles that examine the molecular, cellular, and/or biochemical basis of toxicologically relevant outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on toxicological mechanisms associated with interactions between chemicals and biological systems. Outcomes may include all traditional endpoints caused by synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals, both in vivo and in vitro. Endpoints of interest include, but are not limited to carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, respiratory toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, and immunotoxicology.CBI discourages papers that are descriptive in nature and that do not address toxicological mechanisms (e.g., reports of toxicological effects following chemical exposure in absence of mechanistic experiments). CBI also discourages papers reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.- ISSN: 0009-2797
Aquatic Toxicology
Aquatic Toxicology publishes significant contributions that increase the understanding of the impact of harmful substances (including natural and synthetic chemicals) on aquatic organisms and ecosystems. Aquatic Toxicology considers both laboratory and field studies with a focus on freshwater/marine environments. The journal strives to attract high quality original scientific papers, critical reviews and expert opinion papers in the following areas: Effects of harmful substances on molecular, cellular, sub-organismal, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem level; Mechanisms of toxicity; Genetic disturbances, transgenerational effects, behavioral and adaptive responses; Impacts of harmful substances on structure, function of and services provided by aquatic ecosystems; Mixture and multiple toxicity assessment; Acute and chronic exposure; Environmental realistic scenarios; Impact of emerging substances and environmental pollutants of high actuality; Statistic... approaches to predict exposure to and hazards of contaminants. The journal also considers manuscripts in other areas, such as the development of innovative concepts, approaches, and methodologies, which promote the wider application of toxicological datasets to the protection of aquatic environments and inform ecological risk assessments and decision making by relevant authorities. Aquati... Toxicology does not publish articles that focus on the health of aquaculture organisms associated with aquaculture practices, unless these studies enhance our understanding of the potential effects of chemical stressors associated with aquaculture (e.g. pesticides use, water quality degradation) on aquatic organisms and/or ecosystems. Aquatic Toxicology does not consider articles that focus on monitoring the presence of chemicals in the environment unless these studies further investigate the impacts of the chemicals on aquatic organisms and/or ecological systems. Furthermore, studies that characterize the potential risks of contaminated fish or other aquatic food products on humans or livestock are outside of the scope of the journal.- ISSN: 0166-445X
