Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air pollution has caused major concerns across the world due to its widespread nature, damage to our environment and potential health risks to humans. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the cause and seriousness of outdoor air pollution problems. At the same time, it is significant for human exposure studies to include exposure to indoor chemicals since humans spend more than 80% of the day indoors. Information about the indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratio of air pollutant concentrations is a crucial component of human exposure and health impact assessments. This Special Issue aims to gain more insight into: (a) the concentrations of various pollutants from different chemical classes in outdoor and indoor environments; (b) the potential sources; and (c) human exposure and health risks. Original research articles and review articles on these topics are encouraged and I look forward to receiving your contributions.
