Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, several studies have been carried out addressing problems related to air pollution and human health. Advancements in computational techniques, data acquisition systems, and biometeorology have enabled a better understanding of the relationship between climate change, air pollution, and human health.
However, due to the complexity of atmospheric dynamics and the rapid progression of climate change, it is increasingly necessary to conduct studies that help understand how and how much such processes can affect human health.
Considering this scenario, we welcome original research manuscripts addressing the use of models, remote sensing, and/or surface data to enhance our understanding of the relationship between climate change, air pollution, and human health. We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- The influence of air pollution on human health;
- The relationship between air quality and respiratory diseases;
- Models that perform air quality index predictions;
- The correlation between surface data, remote sensing data, and air quality;
- Signal processing for pollutant detection.
- Air pollution
- Air risk assessment and public health
- Air Pollution detection and monitoring
- Emerging air pollutants
- Air pollution, climate and infectious diseases
- Climate change, water changes and human health
- Climate action SDG13
- Disaster and climate change

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
