Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution is a worldwide problem with serious consequences for human health and ecosystems. Despite reductions in emissions and ambient concentrations, air quality remains poor in many parts of Europe. Air pollution and climate change are the two most serious environmental challenges for Europeans, which necessitate coordinated and integrated actions. The European National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) of 2016 mandates Member States to implement emission reduction strategies to meet targets by 2030 and meet European Union (EU) and World Health Organization air quality objectives for environmental and health protection. Greece's air quality has improved in recent decades. Despite this, many urban areas continue to exceed the limit and target values of the Air Quality Directive, especially during winter. This Special Issue focuses on environmental problems caused by air quality issues in Greece. Specifically, we are seeking contributions covering, but not limited to:
- Air quality monitoring and forecasting;
- Dispersion of air pollutants;
- Influence of meteorological conditions on air quality;
- Climate change—air quality interactions;
- Source apportionment;
- Machine learning;
- Decision support system;
- Environmental risk assessment;
- Geographic information system;
- Remote sensing.
