Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several countries in East Asia have experienced rapid economic development. The growth and change in industrial structure led to increased air pollution, which became a serious issue. Air pollution in East Asian countries varies widely over time and space, but vehicle emissions and industrial emissions are the most important pollutants in urban areas, while biomass burning is a very important emission source. East Asia is one of the most populous regions in the world, which means that many people are exposed to regional air pollution. Research into air pollution in East Asia is important; thus, it is the focus of this Special Issue.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to act as a platform for the exchange of research insights related to air pollution in East Asia. Areas of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Air quality measurement technology;
- Air pollution source apportionment;
- Emission inventory and air quality modeling;
- Hazardous air pollutants and health effects;
- Air pollutant management and control;
- Secondary air pollutant (O3 and PM2.5) formation mechanisms.
We look forward to receiving your contribution!
Dr. Jin-Seok Han
