Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the environmental impact of emissions from mobile devices, such as vehicles and ships, as well as stationary sources like generators, has garnered significant attention. These emissions encompass pollutants originating from combustion processes, including exhaust gases and particulate matter, as well as contributions from tire wear particles. Moreover, with the rise in electric vehicles (EVs), the occurrence and implications of fire events pose additional concerns regarding emissions and safety.

This Special Issue aims to explore a comprehensive range of topics related to emissions from mobile and stationary devices. We invite contributions encompassing both simulation and experimental studies, which investigate the dynamics of emission processes, mitigation strategies, and their environmental implications. Additionally, papers focusing on regulatory analyses and policy implications are encouraged, aiming to assess current frameworks and propose future directions for emissions control and management.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The characterization of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines and alternative fuels.
  • The analysis of particulate matter emissions and their health impacts.
  • The study of tire wear emissions and their environmental consequences.
  • An investigation into fire events in electric vehicles, including their causes, emissions, and safety considerations.
  • Simulation studies to model emissions dispersion and environmental impact assessments.
  • Experimental techniques and methodologies for emission measurements and analysis.
  • Regulatory frameworks and policy assessments for emission control and management.

We welcome original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and critical perspectives that advance our understanding of emissions from mobile and stationary devices, proposing innovative solutions and contributing to the development of sustainable practices.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
