Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Particulate matter (PM) is considered a major air pollutant, imposing negative influences on public health and air quality. The source and formation mechanisms of PM as well as its chemical compositions during pollution events remain unclear due to its complexity. The factors that influence the health and environmental effects of PM also require further study. In addition, emerging contaminants play important roles in public health; however, studies on emerging contaminants in PM are quite scarce.
Thus, this Special Issue aims to unite recent research and reviews on the chemical compositions, sources, formation mechanisms, and environmental effects of atmospheric particulate matter. Studies on rapid, high-selectivity, and high-sensitivity analytical methods to determine the chemical constitution of atmospheric particulate matter are expected to be published in this Special Issue. We also invite contributions that focus on source apportionment, environmental impacts, human exposure, and potential adverse health effects. Of special interest are studies on emerging contaminants in atmospheric particulate matter.

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.
