Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The respiratory system is susceptible to environmental exposures. The global burden of respiratory diseases, due to ambient and household air pollution, is very high and increasing, especially in developing countries. There are chances for emerging environmental risk factors of respiratory diseases that are related to public health issues. There is a need for further scientific evidence to work on preventing environmental lung diseases.
This Special Issue provides an opportunity to publish papers on environmental research in respiratory diseases, as well as public health issues with respect to respiratory diseases. We welcome papers related to evidence of associations and/or mechanisms between environmental factors and respiratory diseases. We are also interested in scientific evidence that could support strategies to prevent environmental lung diseases. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by experts in this field and would be due in May 2019.
