Air Quality Monitoring and Improvement: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Among the many environmental challenges we are currently facing, air quality is particularly difficult to manage. Air quality monitoring involves the long-term assessment of pollutant levels, which helps to assess the extent of pollution and provide information on air quality trends. Emerging technologies have a lot to offer to that end, both helping to reduce pollution and contaminants and to clean up conventional operations.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide the latest advances and prospects on air quality monitoring as well as emerging technologies for air quality improvement. Potential topics of the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Technical developments of air quality monitoring systems (including advanced sensor technologies);
• Methodological approaches to assess the impact of air pollution on human health and studies to assess long-term individual and population exposure;
• Monitoring and health data fusion techniques and evaluation of air quality models using data from advanced air quality management systems;
• Innovative technologies to improve both indoor and outdoor environments (photocatalysis, innovative materials, smart air conditioning, smart air purification systems, green agriculture, clean industry and vehicle technologies, etc.);
• Novel methods to quantify and monitor air pollution (sensor network, analytics, and communication tools, etc.).
