Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As governments and the general public become more keenly aware of the critical atmospheric environment issues arising from human activities, efforts to investigate air quality management and associated scientific support tools are of particular significance for improving regional air quality.
Thus, this Special Issue provides a forum for the discussion of air quality-related problems/characteristics around the world, and especially for the presentation of air quality management applications under different scenarios using a variety of methods. To identify and survey air quality issues at different spatial and temporal scales, we cordially invite submissions on a broad array of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Emission inventory development and meteorological and air quality simulation and forecasting;
- Influence of meteorology on air pollution mitigation and control;
- Source apportionment analysis using model- and observation-based methods; and
- Monitoring and forecasting of surface pollutant concentrations using remote sensing or ground-based measurements of aerosols and trace gases at local to global scales.
Research on air quality management to inform decision-making is especially attractive to this Special Issue, including the development of methods (e.g., new procedures, characterization techniques, monitoring methods, and governing standards) for air quality management. We also invite submissions on the assessment of environmental and health impacts; risk and cost–benefit assessment of air pollution control using advanced techniques (e.g., machine learning); and comprehensive evaluation of social, economic, and policy aspects of air quality management based on advanced decision support systems.

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.
