Sources, Composition, and Health Effects of Indoor Air Pollution

Dear Colleagues,

People spend most of their time indoors. Many studies have demonstrated that exposure to indoor air pollutants, such as PM10, PM2.5, VOCs, ozone, and fungi, is linked to human health issues. Some studies also indicate that it is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the sources of these pollutants to reduce occupant exposure. Additionally, many emerging pollutants exist indoors, such as microplastics and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, but we still do not fully understand their characteristics, sources, or health effects. Furthermore, climate change has become a critical issue for our planet. Several studies have suggested that we cannot ignore its impacts on indoor air quality.

Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit original articles or review papers on various aspects of indoor air quality, such as source identification technology, risk assessment, chemical analysis, the impact of climate change, emerging pollutants, and control strategies. We welcome researchers to contribute original articles or review papers for peer review and possible publication.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
