Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s fast-changing world, the emission sources of airborne toxins in the occupational environment have evolved with all emerging technologies employed in different sectors. Exposure to particulates and gaseous pollutants can lead to serious adverse health effects for people in a working environment. It is critical to understand and characterize traditional and new sources in all occupational sectors, such as metal fabrication, 3D printing, stone cutting, etc. In addition, new methods have been developed to quantify and assess the extent of exposure to aerosols, especially in the respirable fraction and nanoparticles, as well as gases, such as specified VOC. Investigation on emission and exposure can help establish regulations, inform engineering controls, and, therefore, lead to a safer occupational environment. This Special Issue aims to attract articles of a high academic standard investigating topics such as emission sources, emission factors, the physical and chemical profiles of aerosols and gases in an occupational environment, exposure assessment in the field, and the innovative exposure measurement techniques of aerosols and gases in an occupational environment.
