Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exposure to air pollution is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases worldwide. The Special Issue on “Air Pollutant Exposure and Respiratory Injury” will aim to highlight the latest advances relating to respiratory injuries.
As new pollutants have been ubiquitously detected in indoor air and atmospheric systems, the air pollutants in this Special Issue are not limited to traditional pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, etc.), but also include new pollutants such as microplastics, plasticizers, and perfluorinated compounds.
Emphasis is placed on findings that identify novel hazards and that can be extrapolated to environmental exposures and human respiratory risk. Topics are defined on both the macro (e.g., cell biology, epidemiology, immunology, oncology, pathophysiology, imaging and occupational medicine, etc.) and molecular (genomic, transcriptomic, metabolic, etc.) scales. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
