Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over recent decades, rapid industrialization and urbanization have significantly increased air pollution levels, posing a multifaceted challenge to global public health. One of the most critical consequences of exposure to air pollutants is the induction of oxidative stress—an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and the body’s capacity to detoxify these molecules or repair the resulting damage. This process has emerged as a key mechanistic link between air pollution and a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and other systemic conditions.
Building on the success of the first and second editions, this third edition will further explore the complex interplay between air pollution and oxidative stress. By bringing together a collection of cutting-edge studies, this Special Issue aims to deepen our understanding of the molecular and cellular pathways through which air pollutants drive oxidative stress and, in turn, influence the onset and progression of diverse diseases.
