Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many studies have indicated that indoor and outdoor air pollutant exposure have major adverse effects on human health. However, under the influences of climate change, as well as changes in land use, building characteristics, and human activities, the concentrations and spatiotemporal variations of traditional air pollutants (such as PM2.5, O3, NOx, SO2, heavy metals, PAHs, VOCs, or fungi) may have shifted. In addition, the emergence of new products and industrial developments may release emergency pollutants into the environment, making it necessary for us to continuously investigate the changes and impacts of both traditional and emerging pollutants on our health.
Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit articles addressing various aspects of indoor and outdoor air quality, including emergency pollutants, source identification technologies, new monitoring methods, risk assessments, indoor and atmospheric chemistry, or the impacts of climate change, building characteristics, or human activities. We welcome the submission of original research articles or review papers for peer review and potential publication.
