Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past 18 months have taught the world the critical importance of the air we share. Whether aerosol particles are comprised of viral RNA to infect cells, incompletely combusted hydrocarbons capable of carcinogenesis, or highly reactive oxygen species, the message is clear—aerosols can and do impact human health by mechanisms we are only beginning to unravel.
Today, I am pleased to invite you to contribute a manuscript to the evolving body of knowledge regarding airborne pollution and human health by submitting a scientific paper for a Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH).
The scope and purpose of this Special Issue is broad yet simple: to advance and disseminate knowledge of the health effects of airborne pollution. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas and topics may be diverse, but manuscripts must provide a clear link to human health and/or exposure to be considered for publication.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Jonathan E. Thompson
Guest Editor
