Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of modern society, harmful gases from traffic, industrial emissions and indoor sources such as building materials have been released into the environment, which has a negative effect on people's health. The main pollutants here are ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon oxides, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Odors, which are usually a mixture of the above-mentioned compounds, should also be added to this group. Hence, people's requirement for environmental monitoring devices and tools is becoming more and more stringent. Among them, gas sensors have become a major research topic in this field due to their advantages of being energy-saving and having a low cost, small size, and short response time. Gas sensors, sensor arrays, or sensor systems of electronic noses are used to detect air quality, industrial pollution emissions, volatile hazardous gases, agricultural emissions, and forest monitoring as well as environmental health, safety, and hygiene in public places.
This Special Issue on “Smart Environmental Monitoring Systems Using Gas Sensors” invites original research and comprehensive reviews on, but not limited to:
- The design, fabrication, and characterization of chemical gas sensors;
- Problems and challenges related to the use of low-cost sensors in environmental analytics;
- Miniaturization, low-cost, and low-power consumption sensors;
- Odor emissions and measurements;
- Electronic nose and sensor arrays;
- Air quality monitoring;
- Toxic and hazardous industrial emissions;
- Emissions of greenhouse gases;
- Chemical gas monitoring and detection based on sensors;
- Environment monitoring.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
