Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is a global challenge and a major concern in urban areas around the world. Due to climate change, air pollution is both an environmental and a social problem, as it leads to a multitude of adverse effects on human health, as well as on ecosystems and the earth’s climate. As a result, air pollution impacts millions of people worldwide and is one of the largest environmental health risks in the world today. The causes of climate change are often the same as the causes of air pollution: transport, the power sector, industrial emissions, and crop burning. Given this, the quality of the air in city and urban areas is the most important factor that directly influences the incidence of diseases and decreases the quality of life.
For this Special Issue, we invite high-quality original research papers, short communications, and reviews focusing on all aspects of air quality monitoring—in particular, those applied to urban areas. Articles on the impact of air pollution on human health, including ecosystems, are also encouraged. We welcome contributions related to the development of methods to monitor air quality in order to estimate air pollution exposure in an urban area.
Dr. Olivier Delhomme
