Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world. The sudden emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants such as Delta and Omicron has once again made the global prevention and control situation challenging. Therefore, effectively slowing down its transmission, including through the use of face masks and keeping social distance, has become an extraordinary challenge worldwide. To expand the scientific underpinnings, understanding the characteristics of bioaerosols associated with all possible transmission becomes more urgently desired than ever.
The generation, transmission, and removal of bioaerosols is a Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and provides a forum for the latest scientific and technological advances in the characteristics of bioaerosols for promoting the formulation of slowing down the transmission of pathogens, especially because SARS-CoV-2 transmission is receiving more attention than ever. This Special Issue focuses on the generation of bioaerosols in different types of environments, the transmission characteristics of the bioaerosols, and the removal technologies of the bioaerosols.
Fields of interest include:
- Bioaerosols generation during sneezing, coughing, talking, and breathing;
- Bioaerosols generation from human behaviors;
- Bioaerosols generation from emergency release;
- Experimental measurement of bioaerosols;
- Advanced numerical simulation of bioaerosols;
- Indoor transmission of bioaerosols;
- Bioaerosols’ behaviors at community and urban scale;
- Prediction and detection methodology;
- Protective measures against bioaerosols;
- Disinfection technology;
- Disinfection effect assessment.

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.
