Evaluation of Anthropogenic Emissions into the Atmosphere: Regional Scale Approach, Trends, and Large-Scale Mitigation

Dear Colleagues,

Atmospheric emissions (AE) are the one of the evident anthropogenic factors having an effect on the quality of air and pollution of other environmental media. Due to their rapid growth as the side effect of industrial and social development as well as higher transfer and dispersion capacity through the atmosphere, AE pollute the air in a multiscale manner, from locally to regionally or even globally. In recent decades, the regional scale evaluation of emissions has become increasingly necessary for further application in research on long-range transport of pollutants, for the study of changing, large-scale biogeochemical cycles, for the assessment of the effects on life quality for humans, as well as for their role in sub-continental climate changes, etc.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide original results on a number of topics related to regional aspects of anthropogenic emissions over the continents, including various air pollutants, temporal variability and tendencies, relationship with changes in industrial development, and implementation of mitigation policies and measures.

The scope of the Special Issue may include (but is not limited to) research on AE estimation with top-bottom approaches and/or industry-type oriented investigation, AE trends in regions and their reflection in air quality dynamics, and potential and observed effects of regional or national mitigation programs and policy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
