Air Quality, Health, and Environmental Sustainability: Challenges and Solutions

Dear Colleagues,

This journal issue focuses on air quality, its impact on human health and the environment, and the scientific, policy, and technological interventions that can mitigate these effects. As air pollution remains a global challenge, this issue aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the causes, consequences, and solutions related to poor air quality.

Key Themes Covered:

1. Air Pollution Sources and Trends—Examining anthropogenic (industrial, vehicular, agricultural) and natural (wildfires) pollution sources.
2. Health Implications—Investigating short- and long-term effects of air pollutants on human health.
3. Environmental Consequences—Understanding how pollutants affect ecosystems, climate change, and biodiversity.
4. Regulations and Policy Responses—Assessing air quality standards, policy frameworks, and regulatory effectiveness globally.
5. Technological and Scientific Innovations—Exploring advancements in air monitoring, pollution reduction technologies, and sustainable urban planning.
6. Interdisciplinary and Global Perspectives—Discussing how different regions experience and manage air pollution challenges.
