Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The open-access journal Atmosphere is hosting a Special Issue with the goal of providing a brief overview of the development of emission models, their current applications, and the potential efforts/contributions needed in the future. Ambient air pollution is a global issue that has the potential to induce adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. To deeper understand and better control ambient air pollution, it is essential to clarify the sources of pollutants. Emission models are designed to conduct numerical simulations by taking information from multiple sources, including emission inventories and measurements, to provide spatiotemporal gridded data for air quality analysis. However, there are many limitations that remain to be solved, such as the uncertainties related to the model’s capacity to realistically reproduce the components of emitted chemicals. Meanwhile, indoor air pollution is also difficult to estimate. Although a great deal of research has been conducted to improve emission modeling, more efforts are needed in order to provide reliable and fast-response estimates. This Special Issue encourages researchers to share their findings and perspectives about the development of emission models.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Physics and dynamics of emission transport;
- Chemical mechanisms in emission models;
- Model developments, improvements and applications;
- Emission inventory;
- Database tool developments;
- Exposure assessment;
- Indoor and outdoor air pollution.

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 2000 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.
