Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume of "New Insights into Exposure and Health Impacts of Air Pollution”, which was first published in Atmosphere in 2024 (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/MM9IQHWO02).
Air pollution is a major global health concern. It is considered to be the contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by chemical, physical, or biological agents which can alter the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Air pollution has a direct impact on different bodily organs, as well as indirect health effects as a result of contributing to global warming and climate change. According to global data, in 2022, billions of the world’s population were breathing in unhealthy air.
Exposure to toxic air pollutants has several adverse effects. Both outdoor and indoor pollution are important; however, people are usually exposed to indoor pollutants in their home, school, or workplace. A growing body of evidence has shown that indoor air particulate matter, on an equal weight basis, is toxicologically more active than outdoor particulate matter.
As the Guest Editor, I invite you to consider submitting your research for publication in this Special Issue of Atmosphere, aiming to provide a selection of novel studies, in the form of reviews and original papers, related to the short- and long-term health impacts of air pollutants during the life course. Potential authors are welcome to contact the Guest Editor with questions regarding their proposed topics for this Special Issue.
Dr. Parinaz Poursafa
Guest Editor
