Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on atmospheric aerosols has received increasing attention in recent years due to their significant impact on our health and climate. In particular, analyses of the sources and components of aerosols have long been a research hotspot in the field of atmospheric environmental science. This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge research achievements related to the sources and composition of aerosols, especially research on the sources, chemical components, toxicological characteristics, and health effects of aerosols. For this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers on the following topics: methods for analyzing the sources of particulate matter; the chemical composition and mechanisms of formation of particulate matter; the physical and microscopic morphology of particulate matter; the composition of aerosol organic compounds; the toxicological characteristics of aerosol components; and cutting-edge research achievements relating to the health effects of particulate matter.
