Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging air monitoring applications, based on next generation sensors (sometimes referred to as low cost sensors), have become increasingly popular for smart city application, and expanded to fields of citizen science, evidence-based policy formulation, and public health protection, in many types of micro environmental monitoring to meet air-quality information needs. The technologies include numerous types of sensors and system configurations and are evolving quickly. There are considerable challenges to these sensor-based systems that are not often appreciated by users. Understanding the limitations and capabilities of the technology is key to ensure data of good quality are reported. This Special Issue will focus on enhancing our understanding of the technology, hardware innovation, data communication, system integration and evaluation and development data processing/corrections using algorithms novel applications in solving air pollution problems. Proper calibration techniques are necessary, both in controlled laboratory and field applications of sensors and systems will be given special attention.

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.
