Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have significant adverse effects on human health, which are crucial contributors to global morbidity and mortality. As one kind of main pollutants, VOCs may be smelly, toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. VOCs originate from many industrial processes. It is important to accurately understand the emission characteristics of VOCs, such as the emissions of different links and different emission sources, emission structures, control measures, and emission reduction potential, for their control. In recent years, substantial research has been conducted around the world, exploring the emission characteristics and control technology of VOCs. Up to now, various technologies have been explored for VOC removal, such as adsorption, thermal catalytic oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, plasma oxidation, and photothermal catalytic decomposition.
Original research, systematic reviews, and model studies related to the theme of this Special Issue are welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emission characteristics and control analysis of VOCs;
- Oil vapor recovery;
- Contribution of VOCs to ozone and secondary organic aerosols;
- Abatement technology of VOCs;
- VOC characteristics and emissions of gasoline vapor;
- Health risk assessment.

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.
