Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air quality has recently received a lot of public interest, not only due to air traffic hazards caused by wildfires or volcanic eruptions, limitation of visibility in National Parks, wilderness and other protected areas, erosion of cultural heritage construction, Arctic haze, and increasing Arctic commercial shipping and cruise-ship traffic as well as Arctic exploration and extraction for fossil resources. The public’s air quality concerns are also motivated by questions regarding the relation of short- and long-term exposure due to various pollutants like ozone, carbon monoxide, black carbon, particulate matter of equal or less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5), just to mention a few. Various pollutants have namely been found to be health-adverse, causing asthma, cardio, and even cancerous diseases. Elderly, sensitive people, people with lung- or cardio-related preconditions, and pregnant women are especially at risk for poor air quality related issues. An important aspect of air quality is also the interaction of trace gases and particles with the water and energy cycle via the aerosol impacts on cloud and precipitation formation and reflectivity, as well as water quality in rivers and contaminant input into terrestrial and aqueous ecosystems including the soil and oceans.
This Special Issue about air quality and its impacts on human health as well as water, energy and biogeophysical/biogeochemical cycles will call for submissions of papers that demonstrate the original research that can overcome current gaps in understanding the interactions between air quality and the Earth system. Review articles are also welcome. The topics will include but are not limited to examining the:
- Relations of air quality and health;
- impacts of air quality and (Arctic) haze;
- aerosol–cloud interaction;
- air quality hazards;
- air quality climatology and field campaigns; and
- improvements in air quality modeling including emission modeling and inventories.

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.
