Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue, Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Assessment.
Indoor air quality is one of the most significant public health issues, especially considering the high number of hours that the population spends indoors and the number of diseases related to this type of pollution. The most interesting aspect, in addition to the biological process and the pathway involved relating to exposure to a certain pollutant, is the precise development of environmental monitoring methodologies, risk assessment and the application of regulations to protect human health.
In this context, applied physics, applied chemistry, engineering and environmental and earth sciences play a leading role. The importance of this research area can in fact contribute to broadening the knowledge of the impact of indoor air quality while providing tools, remedial actions, solutions and opportunities for better risk management to protect human health.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in home and work environments, indoor radioactivity and radiation protection for workers and the public; risk assessment and management of IAQ; developments and optimization of detectors; biological, chemical and physical indoor pollutants measurements.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
