Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Indoor air pollution has become an increasingly pressing concern due to its substantial impact on human health and well-being. Unlike outdoor pollution, indoor environments trap a complex mixture of pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), formaldehyde, bioaerosols, and even emerging pollutants. Understanding the sources, distribution, and health effects of these pollutants is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the monitoring, exposure assessment, and health risk analysis of indoor air pollutants. We invite contributions that explore precise exposure assessments by integrating measurement technology, data analytics, and health outcomes. Studies focusing on source apportionment and regulatory frameworks are also encouraged. Special attention will be given to interdisciplinary approaches that integrate environmental science, public health, and engineering solutions.
By compiling high-quality research on multi-pollutant exposure and risk assessment, this Special Issue seeks to enhance scientific understanding and inform policies for healthier indoor environments. We encourage researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute their findings, fostering a comprehensive discourse on improving indoor air quality and minimizing the associated health risks.
