Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution has been regarded in many regions around the world as an important concern. The fundamental cause of the air pollution is emissions. Transport is another important factor in the formation and diffusion of pollution. Deposition processes cause the downward movement of pollutants in the atmosphere, which ultimately removes the pollutants to the ground surface, adding nutrients or toxics to ecosystems. Research on the emission characteristics and emission inventory of air pollution sources, as well as transport and deposition mechanisms of air pollution, will help us to estimate the environmental impact and health risk posed by air pollution. It could also provide scientific support to develop appropriate pollution-control strategies for governments, and moreover, serve the regional society and economy in terms of sustainable development. With the continuous implementation of air pollution prevention measures, the emission characteristics and pollution transport mechanisms may also be changing. The methodology of emission inventory and the recognition of emission characteristics need to be continuously updated and deepened. The study of pollution transport mechanisms also needs to be constantly supplemented and improved. This Special Issue focuses on: (1) the new understanding of the emission characteristics, including but not limited to emerging pollutants or potential emission sources; (2) refined and dynamic emission estimates based on the multi-technology/data category to reduce the uncertainty of the emission inventory; and (3) the transport and deposition characteristics of air pollutants. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
