Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aerosol particles play a significant role both in the climate system and in air quality. Depending on the physical and chemical properties and reflectance of the Earth’s surface, aerosol particles may have a warming or cooling effect on the climate. On the regional scale, the aerosol–climate effect may be completely different from the global one. Aerosol particles may also significantly affect the air quality due to high emissions, and specific weather and topographic conditions. In addition, the regional influence of aerosols on climate and weather tends to be stronger than the global average impact due to their relatively short atmospheric lifetimes and inhomogeneity in sources, transport and deposition.
This Special Issue will be devoted to aerosol pollution in Central Europe. In this region, particularly during the autumn–winter season, emissions from residential heating and transport are the main sources of aerosol pollution. Nowadays, we observe that smog forms as a result of high concentrations of particulate matter. Although in recent years a slow reduction in the level of air pollution has been observed, the air quality in many regions remains poor.
Original research papers dealing with subjects such as ambient air quality, aerosol pollutant emissions, aerosol pollution modelling, and measurements are welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
