Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban areas around the world are facing a range of environmental health challenges including the contamination of air, water and soil; traffic congestion and noise; and household waste. The additional pressure of climate extremes and the recent global impacts of coronavirus and a challenging economic system provide important drivers for underlying human responses. Environmental quality directly affects health status and plays a major role in quality of life, years of healthy life lived, and health disparities. All these highlight the need for a systems-based understanding of urban environment and public health.
This Special Issue intends to provide an opportunity for the research community to publish the latest results from illustrating the issue "Urban Environmental Quality and Its Health Impacts". We look forward to your related papers.
Prof. Dr. Andrew S. Hursthouse
