Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an environmental problem and human health risk, air pollution has emerged and traversed from the local scale to the global scale in its intensity and extent. It is a leading cause of disease burden globally, especially in fast-emerging economies. Given the severity of the situation, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of air pollution, its sources, impacts, control, prevention and mitigation policies and practices through the perspective of sustainable environmental management. We welcome submissions that report results from original research focused on air pollution and contribute new knowledge which can help address problems related to air quality and environmental management. The research contributions can include studies based on laboratory experiments and/or field observations, monitoring and/or modeling, latest advances in emission inventories, transformation assessments as well as forecasting models based on field observations and remote sensing applications and technology and/or policy-based interventions to control, prevent or mitigate air pollution. Additionally, studies that focus on the environmental and health impacts of air pollution, risk and cost–benefit assessment studies of air pollution control and the evaluation of social-, economic- and policy-driven aspects of air quality management are also invited. In particular, studies which analyze developing solutions for ambient or indoor air quality management are important. Furthermore, comprehensive review articles that critically discusses and summarize the past and contemporary research related to various aspects of air pollution and the associated environmental management are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Inventories and modeling of exhaust and/or non-exhaust emissions;
- Source apportionment of air pollution;
- Exposure assessment of air pollutants;
- Health outcome and disease burden studies caused by air pollutants;
- Assessment studies on air pollution control;
- Studies on mitigation techniques, policies and strategies for the abatement of air pollution and improvement of air quality.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
