Sources, Spatio-Temporal Distribution and Health Effects of Atmospheric Compositions (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change and air pollution are two global environmental issues. Anthropogenic activities lead to large amounts of greenhouse gases and air pollutants being released into the atmosphere, and therefore change the atmospheric composition. These anthropogenic atmospheric compositions can alter the Earth’s radiation balance, causing climate change on a macro scale; it can also have an effect on the human respiratory system, introducing health risks from the air pollutants on the micro scale. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and simulate the spatio-temporal distribution of the atmospheric composition, identify emission sources and contributions, and assess the potential ecological risks and health effects, as well as exchanges with other environmental mediums.

This Special Issue aims to present the most recent and outstanding results of atmospheric composition studies. Topics of interest for this Special Issue cover different aspects of studies on atmospheric composition, including, but not limited to:

• New technologies to monitor or measure atmospheric composition.
• Temporal and spatial distribution of the constituents of atmospheric composition, including greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
• Source appointment method to determine atmospheric composition.
• Emission inventory of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
• Ecological and health risk assessment of atmospheric composition.
• Exchange and transformation of atmospheric composition in different environmental mediums.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
