Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2021, the World Health Organization issued a new guideline on particulate matter such as PM2.5 and sounded a warning (WHO global air quality guidelines). There are various types of particles such as fine particle substances (PM2.5), industrial/pharmaceutical nanoparticles, and radiation α/β particles, and their properties are also different. Exposure to pollution containing these particulates is becoming more serious in many countries, including health effects. In particular, PM2.5 is involved in the cause of death in big cities and is said to be associated with cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and lung cancer. It is known that exposure to these substances induces inflammation at the exposed site and produces reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress derived from PM affects various cells, and as a result, cell death is induced in some cells. In this process, acute and chronic inflammation is induced, establishing a mechanism by which they have additional biological effects.
Many studies have investigated the relationship between environmentally polluting particulates and health effects using cell-level experiments and animal experiments, but many parts have not yet been resolved. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the oxidative stress caused by these environmentally polluting particulates and provide topics that approach urgent issues.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
