Air Quality Monitoring for Smart Cities and Industrial Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental and Green Processes“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollution is one of the most relevant and discussed problems of modern times. in particular, air pollution has a great impact on the life of the planet, and air quality monitoring is a key aspect for reducing air-associated health diseases. One of the main themes of this issue is that of dealing with gaseous compounds leaving industrial production plants, which is often an expensive operation, due to the strict laws that governments have imposed.

Today, the importance of air quality is a topic in which it is extremely important to invest in terms of research activities. Indoor and outdoor quality monitoring systems are well accepted for contribution in this Special issue, together with critical reviews describing the problems in terms of pollution and their link with human health prevention. The topics of this Special Issue will include, for example:

  • Treatment of gaseous waste from industry;
  • Development of conventional and novel equipment for the monitoring of the main air quality parameters;
  • Critical analysis of the outdoor air quality, industrial, motor vehicle and incinerator emissions, economic analysis;
  • Indoor air quality in a working environment, in case of poor ventilation;
  • Health impact of air pollution.

This issue is also open to health scientists proposing their studies on the effect of air pollutants on patient health, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
