Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last century, the effect of the air quality on human activities has been demonstrated beyond any doubt. Airborne contaminant impacts machinery lifetime, human health, and many aspect of everyday life. The current pandemic is, therefore, a relevant illustration. To avoid unwanted effects induced by poor air quality, filtration technologies are widely used and continuously improved. The need for reliable and efficient technologies is a real issue for a very wide range of uses, from general high flowrate ventilation systems to personal protective devices or small electronic cooling.
The progress of numerical simulation and instrumentation technics allows us to continuously improve our understanding of the physical phenomenon and to model them. The behavior of classical filters in terms of airflow resistance, collection efficiency, and potential failures in specific working conditions is more and more accurately predicted. The design of filters is improved through the use of nanofibrers, electrostatic effects, improved pleat geometries, or advanced medium design. New filtration concepts based on aerosol and gas physicochemical properties are developed to overcome imitation of existing technologies.
This Special Issue aims to gather original works, new approaches, and scientific reviews on air filtration-related topics. Experimental, numerical, and original approaches to design, understand, or improve current knowledges on this thematic 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.
