Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic chemical compounds emitted from anthropogenic sources, including stationary, mobile and fugitive sources, as well as natural emission sources, are potentially hazardous for the atmospheric environment and human health. Because the emission sources are complex, the concentrations of pollutants can easily change with time and transportation distance, and because organic compounds further react with the components in the atmosphere, the measurement of ambient organic chemical emission compounds is an essential issue worthy of further study.
This Special Issue provides a technology exchange platform and aims to cover the most recent progress and advancements in the field of novel techniques for the sampling, monitoring, and measurement of organic chemical emissions from different anthropogenic and natural sources. We especially welcome the submission of research contributions regarding novel sampler, sensor, and monitor techniques, as well as rapid indicators for organic chemical compounds. With these novel measurement or detection technologies, potential authors are highly encouraged to make in-depth investigations and discussions on the emission characteristics of chemical emission sources. Studies on innovative techniques regarding measurements of organic chemical emissions indoors and in workplaces are also welcome.

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.
