Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric aerosols represent a significant challenge to both environmental health and climate stability. These minute solid or liquid particles suspended in the air are ubiquitous in our atmosphere. While some aerosols originate from natural sources, a significant portion arises from human activities, interacting with the environment in complex ways. Furthermore, atmospheric aerosols undergo dynamic processes in the atmosphere, including transport, transformation, and deposition. The movement of air masses and the chemical reactions that occur within these aerosols can alter their size, composition, and lifespan. As such, it is crucial to track their fate from emission sources to final deposition. A comprehensive understanding of these processes is key to predicting the impact of aerosols on local, regional, and global air quality, as well as their role in climate systems, where they contribute to radiative forcing and cloud formation.
This Special Issue will focus on the complex realm of atmospheric aerosol pollution, emphasizing the urgent need to characterize and understand the behavior and fate of these particles. It aims to identify the factors influencing aerosol trends and composition and their ultimate effects on environmental and public health. By featuring new studies on atmospheric aerosols, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive and timely overview of the current state of knowledge on atmospheric aerosol pollution. It will offer valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of aerosols, their impacts on various aspects of the environment and human well-being, and potential strategies for mitigating their adverse effects. We invite submissions of research papers, critical reviews, and case studies that contribute to this vital topic.

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.
