Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution is a significant and growing challenge to public health, with an increasing number of efforts seeking to quantify and characterize the link between the two. This Special Issue focuses on understanding the mechanisms and effects of environmental air pollutants on human health by integrating emissions and exposure using models and measurements with individual and epidemiological outcomes. Historical and contemporary studies incorporating robust health and air pollution data are welcome, alongside studies which include socio-economic metrics as well as economic and policy implications. Both acute and chronic health outcomes associated with air pollution are topics of interest for this issue.
