Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue addresses growing concerns around air quality, focusing on both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor air pollution has increasingly gained attention due to its potential health impacts, particularly in residential, commercial, and healthcare settings. This Issue highlights emerging contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and other pollutants that have become more prevalent in the post-pandemic era. Furthermore, it will explore cutting-edge advancements in monitoring technologies and methodologies, emphasizing innovative sensors, real-time air quality assessment tools, and data analytics platforms that facilitate the more effective detection and management of indoor air quality.
