Integrated Effects of Air Pollutions and Climate Change on Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

As humans interact with the environment consistently, a clean environment is essential for human health and well-being. Nowadays, the adverse health effects of various environmental factors, including environmental pollution and climate change, are increasingly of global concern. The complex associations between environmental exposures and various health outcomes and their biological mechanisms are far from clear. Research in multiple fields is urgently needed to help understand the effects of exposure to environmental hazards on people’s health. These studies will provide support for new policies addressing the impact of the environment on health.

The subject areas of this special issue include, but are not limited to:

epidemiological studies on air pollution and climate change and health,

epidemiological studies on the effects of elements in the living environment (e.g., residential greenness, night light, etc.) on health,

new methods for air quality monitoring and exposure assessment,

studies on the health burden of air pollution and climate change.
