Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With climate change and increasing solar intensity, ozone has become a major air pollutant. Recently, more and more researchers find that “Invisible” ozone pollution is a health hazard worldwide. Ozone pollution is associated with increasing morbidity and mortality of respiratory, cardiovascular, central nervous, and immunity system diseases. The goal of this Special Issue is to demonstrate new studies in the fields of ozone pollution and adverse human health, including but not limited to the following: (1) sources and control of indoor and outdoor ozone; (2) epidemiological and toxicological evidence showing the effects on human health (such as cancer and pulmonary, cardiovascular, central nervous, endocrine, and reproduction diseases) from exposure to outdoor or indoor ozone reaction products or ozone combined with other pollutants/meteorological factors; (3) the mechanisms of pathophysiological changes induced by long-term or short-term ozone; (4) the important and specific biomarkers of ozone exposure, prevention, and intervention of ozone-induced deleterious effects; (5) risk and health impact assessments, and risk management; and (6) prevention and treatment using nutrients or Chinese medicine for ozone-related health effects. This Special Issue encourages the contributions of new research papers, reviews, and case reports addressing the aforementioned topics.
