Air Pollution Generated from Agricultural Activities

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue of Atmosphere, we intend to address the different aspects of pollution caused by agricultural activities. These aspects include the use of pesticides, ammoniac, and other nitrogen compounds and particles.

For pesticides, levels, trends, and behaviours in the air, including monitoring (including indoor air), seasonal and temporal variabilities, and processes (drift, volatilisation, atmospheric reactivity) can be considered.

For ammoniac and nitrogen compounds (e.g., N₂O) and particles (e.g., NH₄NO₂), discussions of their impacts on the formation of particles and on the climate are welcome.

All aspects of modelling, sampling strategies and methodologies, surveys, human (e.g., residents, disease occurrence) and environmental exposure (e.g., biodiversity) and effects may also be considered. Likewise, the biomonitoring of exposure assessment in relation to air pollution should also be considered (e.g., hair analysis in residents).

Authors may present long-term monitoring surveys to investigate the link between air quality in urban areas and agricultural particle formation, with a particular focus on the importance of agricultural particles in terms of global pollution by particles in urban areas with respect to traffic and domestic particle emissions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
