Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A growing body of scientific evidence shows that PM originating from non-exhaust brakes and tire emission sources significantly affects human health. At present, and likely to continue in the future, the contribution of non-exhaust emissions to the overall vehicle emission performance will continue to increase due to engine hybridization, cleaner combustion, and more efficient aftertreatment technologies. Exhaust vehicle emissions are becoming more stringent, while non-exhaust PM is generally unregulated. Despite the current and future significant contribution of non-exhaust emissions to air quality deterioration, few public policies target them explicitly. Currently, high uncertainty remains with respect to non-exhaust PM emitted under real-world driving conditions. Little is known about different factors, such as material composition, road type, driving conditions, etc., which can affect overall non-exhaust emissions. This Special Issue on brake and tire non-exhaust emissions and air pollution aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and valuable information about emission generation mechanisms that affect non-exhaust brake and tire emission performance.

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.
