Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Toxicity and Health Effects of Ultrafine Particulate Matter (UFP) Exposure” will delve into the diverse health impacts of UFP on humans. It will cover toxicological mechanisms, interactions with biological systems, and health outcomes such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. The goal is to consolidate current research, foster interdisciplinary dialogue, and identify knowledge gaps, thus contributing significantly to the existing literature.
Situated within global air pollution concerns, this issue will address regional variations in UFP exposure and extend discussions to include microplastics’ role in contributing to ultrafine particulate burdens. It aims to be a vital resource for researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals, highlighting the need for effective mitigation strategies and regulatory measures to safeguard public health.
