Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aqueous aerosols present a unique reaction medium in the atmosphere because of their small volume and high concentrations of both inorganic and organic solutes. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) can form when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react with OH radicals, ozone, or other atmospheric oxidants to yield semivolatile species. Anthropogenic atmospheric VOC concentrations have not declined in certain parts of the world despite the implementation of a series of environmental conservation policies over the past decade. In recent years, substantial research has been conducted around the world, exploring the formation mechanisms of aerosol from VOCs and developing effective measures for the mitigation of VOC emissions from different industries.
We are pleased to announce that a Special Issue entitled “Key Role of Anthropogenic Volatile Organic Compounds in Aerosol Formation” will be hosted by the open-access journal Atmosphere. The aim is to enhance our scientific understanding of VOC emissions from different industries in the formation of aerosol and to use such information to develop the best management practices.
Original research, systematic review, and model studies related to the theme of this Special Issue are welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emission characteristics and control analysis of VOCs;
- Oil vapor recovery;
- Formation mechanisms of aerosol;
- Abatement technology of VOCs;
- VOC characteristics and emission of gasoline vapor;
- Health risk assessment.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
