Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution has brought great obstacles to human production and life, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) pollution have become the top priority pollutants around the world, and many areas are currently facing the combined pollution of PM2.5 and O3. With the continuous improvement in pollutant treatment technology, the concentration of PM2.5 presents a downward trend. However, the concentration of O3 increased to a certain extent. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NOx are crucial precursors of SOA and O3, and the refine study of their concentration, sources, regional transportation, and collaborative emission reduction are of great significance for the formation and evolution of secondary air pollution, as well as the formulation and implementation of control policies.
This Special Issue aims to discuss the “evolution characteristics of air pollutants”. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The spatiotemporal evolution of pollutants;
- The vertical evolution of pollutants;
- The source and sink mechanism of pollutants;
- The local emission and regional transportation of pollutants;
- Collaborative emission reduction.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
