Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing the understanding of bioaerosols and their impacts on human health. Bioaerosols—airborne particles of biological origin—play a significant role in environmental exposures that influence public health outcomes. This Special Issue brings together multidisciplinary research focused on three main areas: bioaerosol characterization, atmospheric monitoring, and exposure risk assessment.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Aerobiology.

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.
