Air Pollution, Climate Change, and Public Health: The Unavoidable Path towards Decarbonization

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Air Pollution, Climate Change, and Public Health: The Unavoidable Path Towards Decarbonization” is proposed to collect interdisciplinary scientific contributions to the challenging debate on this topic, directly connected to the same survival of human beings and the Earth’s ecosystem. The aim is to contribute to evidence-based decisions that should be carefully considered and assumed on a scientific basis by decision-makers at local, national, and international levels.

This special issue has a specific focus on the unavoidable need for decarbonization, and will publish papers concerning epidemiology, experimental human research (or animal/plant models assessed as environmental pollution early indicators), the modelization of integrated meteorological and health data, toxicology, technological innovations aimed at reducing climate-altering emissions, and environmental/health impacts. Particular attention will be paid to articles addressing new technologies and approaches for the production of clean energy and clean steel.
