Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the health impacts of urban emissions and potential mitigation strategies. As more than half of the world's population now lives in urban centers, and this number is projected to increase rapidly, the health of city dwellers is becoming a significant concern. Most cities are also large sources of pollutants, of varying degrees of toxicity, and the accounting of emissions, exposure modeling, and mitigation strategies is a significant area of study.
Topics for this Special Issue include urban emissions quantification and reduction studies, as well pollutant observation and health impact projects. Multi-disciplinary work is strongly encouraged as an objective of this Special Issue is to highlight enactable policy solutions and further research avenues. Furthermore, studies that highlight the interplay between urban pollution and health outcomes are particularly welcome.
