Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well-documented in the literature that there are various consequences and impacts of air pollution and low air quality on human health, ecosystems, and the degradation of construction materials in cultural heritage monuments and modern constructions, as well as in other fields. In this Special Issue, we focus on the intertemporal changes in air quality and air pollution throughout the Balkan Peninsula and their historical effects on the human and natural environment.
The Balkan Peninsula encompasses a wide variety of biomes, locations with great archaeological and cultural significance, as well as diverse living environments, such as megacities, urban areas, suburban, and rural regions. The scope of this Special Issue is to collect research findings from multidisciplinary fields, all of which share a common characteristic: the different consequences of air pollution. Of particular interest are studies that examine the effects of air pollution on human health, ecosystems, cultural heritage monuments, and materials exposed to the outdoor atmospheric environment. It is clarified here that any other research which does not belong to these fields but investigates the consequences of air pollution is more than welcome.
In order to achieve this scope, we invite all researchers who work on studies related to air pollution to consider submitting their manuscripts to our Special Issue.
Dr. John Christodoulakis
