Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to our Special Issue on “The Silent Crisis: Air Pollution and Its Hidden Impact on Human Health”. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the health hazard factors, including physical, chemical, and biological agents in the air pollutants.
This Special Issue attempts to consolidate the latest advancements and diverse perspectives within the field of air pollution. It aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between air pollutants and human impacts, providing a platform for sharing innovative research, methodologies, and insightful analyses.
The suggested themes include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Health hazards evaluations: Demonstrating health impacts for humans exposed to air pollutants.
- Emerging pollutants: Exploring the impacts of new air contaminants to humans.
- Multiple-source effects: Assessing pollutant effects across different sources, including industry, transportation, residential, and the power generation of air pollutions.
- Air pollution control: Air pollution control measures can be categorized into source control, emission control, and regulatory control.
- Methodological innovations: Showcasing novel approaches for assessing air pollution risks.
The following types of articles for contributions are encouraged:
- Original research articles: Presenting new findings, data, and analyses in air pollution.
- Review articles: Comprehensive assessments of specific aspects or trends in air pollutants.
- Methodological papers: Describing innovative methodologies and approaches in assessing air contaminant impacts.
- Case studies: Real-world applications and observations of air pollution.
