Sources, Spatio-Temporal Distribution and Health Effects of Atmospheric Compositions

Dear Colleagues,

The atmosphere is constituted by various atmospheric compositions. The composition of the atmosphere is changed because of a large number of greenhouse gases and air pollutants emitted from anthropogenic activities. These anthropogenic atmospheric compositions can alter the earth’s radiation balance causing climate change on a macro-scale, and also can enter into 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 atmospheric compositions, identify their emission sources and contributions, and assess their 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 compositions, including, but are not limited to:

• New technologies to monitor or measure atmospheric compositions.
• Temporal and spatial distribution of atmospheric compositions like greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
• Source appointment method of atmospheric compositions.
• Ecological and health risks assessment of atmospheric compositions.
• Exchange and transformation of atmospheric compositions 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.
