Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although remarkable achievements have been made in environmental governance, many cities are still facing greater pressure on emission reduction. Large-scale haze episodes still occurred with the daily average concentration of pollutants exceeding national standards. Meteorological conditions, local emission sources, and the regional transport of pollutants play a critical role in the variation of air quality. Investigating the characteristics and sources of air pollutants is crucial for improving air quality and the high-quality development of the economy. Besides, the air-pollution trend prediction of haze episodes helps explore the efficacy of control measures and policy making.
The focus of this Special Issue, therefore, is to compile the research addressed to the characteristics, sources, transmission, and predictions of haze episodes. The issue will direct attention to atmospheric pollution, pollution characteristics, source apportionment, regional transportation, and predictions of air pollutants (e.g., PM2.5, VOCs, O3…). We invite you to submit novel research studies, as well as review articles, that investigate characteristics, sources, transmission, and predictions of air pollutants during haze episodes. Studies relating to air quality, air pollution control, and fine source, as well as policy-related studies, are highly welcome. This topic would represent a notable contribution to this important scientific field.

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.
