Airborne Micro and Nanoplastics: Detection, Dynamics, and Exposure Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Airborne Micro and Nanoplastics: Detection, Dynamics, and Exposure Assessment”, aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for advancing our understanding of microplastics and nanoplastics in the atmosphere. This Special Issue will focus on elucidating the sources, detection, spatial distribution, atmospheric transport, and chemical transformation of these particles, as well as evaluate their potential health and ecological impacts. By integrating cutting-edge sampling techniques, state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, and innovative atmospheric modeling, this Special Issue aims to address knowledge gaps, foster the development of novel risk assessment and mitigation strategies, and ultimately provide robust scientific evidence to inform air quality management and public health policies.

Dr. Yangyang Liu

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 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-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).
