Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ambient air pollution is widely considered as responsible for millions of deaths and years of healthy life lost annually. Diseases attributable to air pollution negatively impact the economic sphere by reducing productivity and labor supply, increasing the burden of healthcare expenditures and causing loss of well-being.
Considering that the current world population is increasing and also the increase in longevity therefore is daily exposed to high levels of air pollutants, air quality control is not an expenditure, but an essential investment to avoid substantial economic losses and to promote global health.
Therefore, innovative approaches that assess the impacts caused by exposure to air pollution, considering the economic, social, and health aspects in an integrated manner, can strongly contribute to moving towards a sustainable, resilient, and healthy society.
Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to showcase the most recent findings on new approaches for estimating, modeling, and forecasting air pollution exposure and its impacts on human health, considering both socioeconomic and epidemiological perspectives. Trends in potential politics for promoting public health concerning a clean air are stimulated to be discussed. Topics include innovative analyses for air pollution and health impacts, public health threats of anthropogenic climate change, air pollution in the post-COVID-19 world, health impact assessment experiences, and air pollution burden of diseases analyses.
