Control and Purification of Particulate Matter

Dear Colleagues,

Atmosphere is dedicating this Special Issue to the Control and Purification of Particulate Matter (PM). PM in the atmosphere is a complex and heterogeneous mixture. These particles come in many sizes and shapes and can be made up of hundreds of different chemicals. PM can arise from natural or anthropogenic sources. Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, can be seen with the naked eye. However, some are so small that they can only be detected through tests. PM is harmful to air quality, public health, and the environment. For this Special Issue, we aim to compile high-quality research and provide the community with a valuable resource on the study of the Control and Purification of Particulate Matter.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions focused on the recent development and application of novel control or purification design, control system optimization, and purification mechanism understanding in the field. Alternatively, authors can contribute manuscripts that focus on particulate matter monitoring, physicochemical properties, specific measurement techniques, migration, and simulation. Finally, particle pollution, individual respiratory protection, and health impacts are also welcome contributions to this Special Issue. If in doubt about the suitability of the research for the SI, potential authors are invited to discuss their idea with the Guest Editor before preparing their papers.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
