Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Indoor Analysis is a need for health and safety reasons and the control of indoor air quality is a challenge due to the low concentration of many contaminants and the difficulties of sampling, sample transport and preservation concerning the physical state of target molecules and their association to suspended particles. In this regard, taking into account that people spend more than 90 % of their time in indoor environments, the control of pollutants in indoor environments is a matter of interest and a research field of growing interest.
This Special Issue aims to feature full-length articles, reviews, and communications addressing novel research on this topic from a multidisciplinary point of view, including (but not limited to):
- Levels of pollutants in indoor air ambient (mainly air and dust samples).
- Respiratory viruses in indoor air environments.
- External exposure assessment of pollutants.
- Alternative approaches for risk assessment and management.
- New regulatory guidelines for emerging pollutants.
- Case-studies, results, and findings in specific geographical regions.
All contributions regarding fundamental and applied research on these topics, including novel research and results conducted by undergraduate or PhD students are welcomed in this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
