Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric organic pollutants pose a significant threat to air quality, public health, and ecosystem stability. A comprehensive understanding of their emission sources, chemical characteristics, environmental behavior, and control strategies is essential for the development of targeted and effective pollution mitigation measures. Originating from diverse natural and anthropogenic activities, these pollutants undergo complex atmospheric processes that influence their persistence, transformation, and potential impacts on both environmental and human health. This Special Issue, entitled "Sources, Characteristics, and Environmental Pollution Control of Organic Pollutants in the Atmosphere", aims to gather high-quality original research and authoritative review articles that address the entire lifecycle of these contaminants. We welcome submissions focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Source identification, source apportionment, and the development of emission inventories;
- Physicochemical characterization and advanced analytical methodologies;
- Atmospheric transport, chemical transformation, and mechanisms of secondary pollutant formation;
- Ecological and human health risk assessments, including exposure pathways and toxicological effects;
- Innovative pollution control technologies and policy-relevant mitigation strategies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
