Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interactions between aerosols, the environmental, and human health systems are complex, multifaceted, and increasingly relevant in the face of global environmental change. Aerosols—whether of anthropogenic or natural origin—play a critical role in atmospheric processes and can have significant impacts on air quality, climate, and health outcomes. Bioaerosols, including fungal spores, bacteria, and viruses, as well as particulate matter from industrial, urban, or natural sources, are key components of this dynamic.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary contributions that explore the sources, transport, modelling, health implications, and mitigation strategies related to aerosol emissions and exposure. We particularly welcome original research and review articles that address aerosols’ interactions with the environment and health through the lenses of air-quality monitoring, bioaerosol behaviour and dynamics, risk assessment, and predictive environmental modelling.
By gathering contributions from fields such as environmental engineering, aerobiology, atmospheric science, and public health, this Special Issue seeks to enhance our understanding of the role aerosols play in shaping urban and regional health outcomes. Submissions related to climate variability, exposure assessments, and methodological innovations for studying aerosol–health relationships are especially encouraged.
This Special Issue aspires to foster scientific dialogue and promote the development of data-driven, evidence-based approaches to support sustainable environmental and health policies in a rapidly changing world.

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. Environments 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 1800 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.
