Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution is a global problem and a risk factor for the development and exacerbation of respiratory diseases. This Special Issue aims to present novel areas of research to advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in lung diseases and environmental pollutant exposure. Potential therapeutic approaches for studying environmental pollutant exposure and lung diseases are welcome in this Special Issue. We invite investigators from all fields related to environmental pollutants and the respiratory system to submit original research articles or reviews describing and discussing the recent advances in the field of environmental pollutants and lung diseases.
The Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, titled "Environmental Pollutants and Lung Diseases: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms", specifically focuses on original papers and reviews. Because IJMS is a journal dedicated to molecular science, studies solely based on clinical trials or data fall outside the scope of this project.

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 Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
