Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exposure to air pollutants can trigger or exacerbate a variety of lung diseases, leading to hospitalization, cancer, and even premature death. Existing studies have primarily concentrated on common air pollutants; however, as novel pollutants continue to emerge, there is an urgent need to focus on novel air pollutants, elucidating their respiratory effects and underlying mechanisms. For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original research and review articles on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Evaluating inhalation exposure to novel air pollutants
- Links between novel air pollutants and lung diseases
- Toxicology and mechanisms of inhaled toxicants
