Air Pollution and Occupational Exposure

Dear Colleagues,

Air pollution is a complex mixture of various pollutants emitted from a wide range of sources, which can lead to a variable composition. Air pollution and its associated constituents represent a major risk for the global burden of disease. Indeed, exposure to harmful air pollutants has been recognized as a risk factor for various diseases, with several epidemiological studies having investigated the association between air pollution exposures and respiratory infections in the workplace. Thus, monitoring air quality is an important element of developing awareness of the significance of providing a healthy working environment. In addition, air quality monitoring must be carried out to assess the extent of pollution, evaluate control options, provide data for air quality modeling, and ensure compliance with national legislation. The scope of this Topic on Air Pollution and Occupational Exposure will include all topics related to air pollution and occupational health. Some of the topics of interest include advanced monitoring methods for harmful air pollutants, distribution levels of air pollutants in the workplace, and novel assessment models of exposure risks. Both Articles and Reviews are welcome.
