Aerosols above the Most Polluted Parts of Eurasia: Problems and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is a looming threat for the current generations, which will likely affect the well-being of future generations. Aerosols are one player that has a critical role in global warming. Aerosol particles are ubiquitous and these are emitted with increasing intensity as economies are growing and with increasing urbanization. The continents of Asia and Europe have an interesting mix of sources, composition, levels and effects. What is the net effect of aerosols? Some part of the aerosols, except black carbon, counteracts global warming, while fine particulates have a tremendous effect on human health, especially on the vulnerable populations (fetuses, pregnant women and elderly populations).

In this Special Issue, we are inviting high impact articles from a wide spectrum of topics covering Europe and Asia. Original research that has highest likelihood to inform policy and studies that are focused on marginalized population will be given priority. We seek articles on mitigation measures that have demonstrative effectiveness.
