Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from human activities have become major contributors to urban air pollution. Their toxicity and their propensity to form secondary aerosols make them species to be targeted in air quality improvement policies. However, before these policies are functional, it is important to look at direct methods of depolluting cities to rapidly improve quality of life. Many different techniques exist, such as plasma, photocatalysis, catalysis, and photochemistry.
This Issue will look at the latest methods developed to reduce the impact of VOCs in outdoor air at low temperatures and energy consumption.
Topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
(1) Plasma-catalytic removal of VOCs;
(2) Photocatalytic oxidation for degradation of VOCs;
(3) Catalytic oxidation for the removal of VOCs;
(4) Carbon Adsorption for VOCs;
(5) Other new technologies on VOC depollution.

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 2400 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.
