Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Atmosphere dedicated to research in air pollution and human exposure in Israel. Early studies on air pollution in Israel started during the 1970s and actively continue in the present, covering a wide variety of topics like air pollution measurements, photochemistry, meteorology, and modeling. Although both emissions and ambient levels of air pollution have been declining in the last couple of decades, air pollution continues to be a major environmental factor affecting human health in Israel. Critical levels of air pollution concentrations have serious consequences on human health in terms of premature deaths and morbidity, on human society through healthcare costs, and the economy in general by reducing agricultural productivity, for example.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research and review articles focused on air pollution and human exposure in Israel. Manuscripts may present original research or review previous work and summarize the current state of the science, thereby providing context to the current research and the direction in which the field is moving.
Some topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Spatial and temporal variability in ambient air pollution levels
- Chemistry of air pollution
- Air pollutants composition
- Economic costs of air pollution
- Health effects of air pollution
- Source apportionment of air pollutants and, in particular, the relative contribution of biogenic sources of air pollutants and particulate matter
- Air quality modeling
- Air pollution meteorology at the synoptic, meso or local scales
- Air pollution and cloud microphysics

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
