Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Halogen (chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.) chemistry is important in influencing the fate of chemical composition of the atmosphere and may affect the climate. Halogen compound is a very efficient ozone depleting substance in the stratosphere and in remote troposphere; however, in polluted regions (high NOx environment), halogen chemistry can enhance the atmospheric oxidation capacity and formation of ozone. Another crucial role of halogen chemistry includes its remarkable capacity to increase the formation of new particles that can grow to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) sizes, thereby establishing a link between halogen chemistry and climate.
As the atmospheric halogen chemistry is increasingly attracting attention, this Special Issue aims to collect original research and review papers on the most recent discoveries of atmospheric halogen chemistry. It is particularly important for us to have more in-depth understanding on how atmospheric processes, including anthropogenic and natural emissions, chemical transformation (gas-phase and heterogeneous reaction), transportation, and removal mechanisms, and to better quantify the impacts of halogen chemistry in the atmosphere. All the studies with field measurements (outdoor, indoor), laboratory experiments, box/regional/global model simulations, remote sensing, and technological developments are welcome. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Spatial and temporal distribution of halogen (chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.) in the atmosphere;
- Sources of halogen;
- Atmospheric processes of halogen, including gas-phase and heterogeneous reaction;
- Impacts of halogen chemistry in the atmosphere;
- Technological and method developments for measurement of atmospheric halogen.

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.
