Advanced Technologies in Air Science: Monitoring, Analyzing, Modeling, and Implementation

Dear Colleagues,

With technology development and the subsequent air pollution and health effects, ambient air quality has received more attention in the past 20 years from all aspects. In contrast, less attention has been given by government agencies to monitor indoor air quality (IAQ). Although significant achievements have been made in air science, emerging technologies have been driving the development of products and systems for improved performance. In addition, the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic poses new issues and challenges of air pollution studies. In this context, this special issue is initiated to cover the following research aspects:

• Evaluation of new air quality sensors for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring;
• Characteristics of emerging air pollutants (e.g., PFAS) under various environments;
• Air quality modeling in combination with machine learning;
• Adverse health effects of air pollutants in ambient and built environment;
• Interventions and strategies to reduce health risks of outdoor air pollutant exposures;
• Emerging air cleaning technologies for air pollutant treatment and remediation;
• Advanced ventilation design and operation strategies to improve IAQ;
• Building features and occupant behaviour on IAQ;
• Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on indoor and outdoor air quality;
• Effective ventilation infection control under the COVID-19 pandemic;
• Future IAQ trends under climate change and energy conservation in buildings.

Manuscripts to address challenging future research for Air Science are invited for submission to this Special Issue.

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.
