Air pollution has become a prominent environmental and health issue as a result of rapid global development and urbanization, especially in developing countries. Emerging pollutants, pollution exposure pathways, and pollution-related diseases have been continuously identified. Traditional research mainly focuses on one aspect, so there is a lack of further innovation and breakthroughs. Interdisciplinary research has therefore served as a powerful tool to evaluate the environmental and health outcomes of air pollution and ways to minimize its impacts. For example, the role of aerosol as the carrier of COVID-19.
This Research Topic aims to:
(1) Examine emerging air pollution problems (such as ozone, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), wildfires, etc.) and the corresponding environmental and health consequences from the perspectives of environmental science, atmospheric chemistry, public health, and management policies.
(2) Collect new insights on current air pollution and its effects and advancements in research in this area.
(3) Provide a platform to discuss future challenges and opportunities of air pollution research as well as future projections.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, Perspective, and Opinion articles that address (but are not limited to) the following topics:
• Behaviors and fates of emerging organic air pollutants.
• Formation pathways of secondary air pollutants.
• Air quality and atmospheric chemistry models for probing the causes of air pollution.
• Health impacts of air pollution indoors and outdoors.
• New approaches for evaluating human air pollution exposure (e.g., big data, environmental sensing, and machine learning techniques).
• New methods for air pollution source tracing and environmental management.
• Characteristics of primary pollutants in sources and their environmental and health impacts.
