Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to share your work in a new Special Issue of Atmosphere, titled "Measurement of Indoor Radon in Dwellings."
As you know, radon is a major public health concern. It is a natural, radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer globally. Yet, its levels in our homes depend on a complex mix of geology, building design, and even how we live and ventilate our spaces. That is why accurate measurement is not just science—it is the essential first step toward protecting health.
Thankfully, the science has advanced. Over the last ten years, breakthroughs in sensors, analysis, and modeling have given us powerful new tools to understand radon exposure. This Special Issue is designed to bring that progress into focus. We want to highlight the latest innovations, help harmonize methods, and turn data into practical strategies for risk reduction.
We welcome your original research and reviews. Are you working on a new detection technology, a revealing monitoring campaign, or a model that clarifies radon risks? We would love to hear about it.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- New radon detection and measurement technologies;
- Indoor radon monitoring campaigns, modeling, and data analysis;
- Key factors driving radon accumulation—and how to mitigate them.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing this critical field together.
Dr. Chutima Kranrod
Guest Editor
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.
