Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Pollutants in Indoor Air” aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive view of emerging and current knowledge of pollutants in various indoor environments, including, homes, schools, offices, hospitals, subway stations, in-vehicle, etc. All types of indoor air pollution issues will be considered: from source characterization to source control and mitigation. Research articles that invoke a multidisciplinary paradigm to address critical issues on human health and indoor environment are especially welcomed. In particular topics on the intersection between energy efficiency, high-performance building, new building technologies, and indoor air quality (IAQ); improving IAQ using new construction materials in real buildings; field-based evaluation of pollutant emissions in buildings under various operating conditions; indoor thermal environment, occupants’ health, and IAQ; monitoring IAQ using cyber-physical systems and mobile computing technologies; applications of Internet of Things (IoT) in IAQ monitoring systems; data-driven approach for indoor environment monitoring; long-term stability and cross-sensitivity of the low-cost sensors; indoor chemistry; and modeling of pollutant dispersion and deposition in indoor environments are strongly encouraged for submissions. The target audience includes the researchers, educators, home builders, energy professionals, product manufacturers, utilities, federal, state, and local governments, and concerned citizens devoted to improve overall indoor environmental quality. We would like to encourage you to submit to this Special Issue your original research papers, short communication of preliminary results, review articles, or commentaries to stimulate the discussion.

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. Pollutants is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
