Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution control is an ongoing subject of concern regarding human health, especially regional O3 pollution, which arises as a secondary consequence of VOCs and NOx as precursors. In addition, O3, NOx, VOC, and CO2 emissions have also had a significant impact on climate change. The industry sector has emerged as the predominant contributor to air pollutants and carbon emissions due to its high quantity and intensity of emissions. However, the control of air pollution in industrial parks still faces challenges due to their limited scale, intricate emissions, and diverse meteorological factors.
The accurate source tracing of O3 and its precursors is fundamental for effective air quality management and control strategies, while efficient disposal techniques are crucial for reducing emission quantities. Therefore, the focus of this Special Issue is on presenting advanced techniques, including O3 formation investigation, source tracing, and pollutant disposal methods for VOCs and NOx, within the context of collaborative carbon emission reduction efforts. The focus of this Special Issue is on the mechanisms of O3 formation, the source tracing of O3 and its precursors, the disposal of VOCs and NOx pollution, and carbon capture, as well as advanced studies on emission inventory, source profiles, and carbon emission accounting in industrial parks or sectors. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the most recent research on the advancements, challenges, and prospects in the cooperative control of air pollution and carbon emissions.
