Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air quality is an environmental issue around the world. Changing air quality has recently become a daily phenomenon. It links broadly to climate change, agriculture, and farming and is deleterious to public health. Several volatile gases and particles are well referred to as climate pollutants and cause global warming. Reporting health interactions with air pollutants will potentially raise awareness among the people. It has been claimed by aerosol scientists that a 9 million death burden occurs yearly due to poor air quality. People in developing countries inhale poor air that exceeds the guidelines proposed by the world health organization (WHO). A margin of two years and eight months of life expectancy has been lost globally due to exposure to polluted air. The monitoring and appropriate management policy may assist the regulatory bodies in the countries affected to protect public health. Thus, the scope of this Special Issue will be a broader public interest, and the articles will be timely and worthy of future citation.
A Special Issue named “Observation and Management of Aerosols and Gaseous Air Pollution” has been proposed to launch soon under the journal Sustainability. The Issue will broadly but precisely cover the topic of interest in aerosol and volatile compositions in air pollution. Aerosols, their compositions, and volatile gases appropriately indicate the quality of air and possible health damage in the source locations. This Special Issue will reach out to the authors interested in air quality measurement and modeling. This Issue will also be a unique platform for the potential authors and readers as there is no existing literature journal that precisely addresses the size of aerosol and gas compositions and modeling

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
