Indoor Air Pollutants and Public Health

Dear Colleagues,

The environment is a major determinant of health worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 20% of all deaths can be attributed to environmental factors. In recent decades, a wide range of modern pollutants associated with city development and new lifestyles have emerged. People spend most of their time indoors, and the indoor sources of exposure have lifelong implications on health. Moreover, the ambient air pollutants that infiltrate indoor space are closely linked to the disease burden of individuals and communities. Thus, there is an urgent need to recognize and address health-related environmental pollutants, including the type of pollutants, the source of pollutants, and how they are related to health outcomes.

This Special Issue of Atmosphere welcomes contributions on aspects of indoor environmental pollutants. We are looking forward to research focused on detection methods for indoor pollutants, modeling to determine emission sources of indoor sources, the interaction between indoor and ambient air pollutants, the effects of indoor air pollutants on health, and other related areas.
