Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To deal with the global environmental pollution crisis, it is of great importance to identify spatiotemporal variations in air/water/soil pollution in urban areas, and to assess the associated health risks of exposure to these types of pollution. Thanks to the development of numerical simulation, remote sensing inversion, and statistical modeling approaches, as well as the advent of novel measuring techniques, such as low-cost sensors and mobile monitoring, we are able to study environmental pollution at multi-scales and carry out exposure assessments in various macro- and microenvironments at the individual and population levels.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health focuses on the current state of knowledge in the study of environmental pollution, exposure assessment, and relevant health risks through the use of various methods.
The main topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Air/water/soil pollution modeling at large scales using numerical simulation, remote sensing, and statistical approaches;
- Air/water/soil pollution modeling at local scales, based on measurements from low-cost sensors and mobile monitoring;
- Investigating spatiotemporal migrations and multi-media interactions of air/water/soil pollution, such as air–soil settlement and soil–water migration;
- Intelligent monitoring techniques and big data platforms for air/water/soil pollution prevention;
- Assessment of exposure to air/water/soil pollution in multiple macro- and microenvironments, based on environmental modeling;
- Health risks associated with exposure to air/water/soil pollution and solutions to mitigate their effects.
New research papers and reviews are welcome to this 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.
