Traffic non-exhaust substances: impact on air quality, health and possible remediation
Submissions open:
Now open for submission
Deadline:
31 March 2024
Guest Editor(s):
Fulvio Amato (CSIC, Barcelona), Ye Liu (University of Leeds)
In this gold open-access themed collection, we focus on non-exhaust emissions from road traffic arising from the wear of vehicle parts (such as from the brakes, tyres and clutch), road wear and road dust resuspension.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Innovative methods for measuring non-exhaust substances and total PM in ambient air
- Laboratory measurements that can contribute to emission standardizations
- Toxicological and epidemiological studies
- Laboratory and real-world tests of remediation measures
- Physico-chemical properties of non-exhaust emissions
- Mathematical models of non-exhaust emissions
Peroxy Radicals in the Atmosphere
Submissions open:
Now open for submission
Deadline:
30 November 2024
Guest Editor(s):
Carl Percival (California Institute of Technology)
Barbara Nozière (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)
Lisa Whalley (University of Leeds)
This gold open-access themed collection will consider all aspects of atmospheric peroxy radical chemistry, including topics such as, but not limited to:
- Kinetics and pathways of peroxy radical reactions with atmospheric constituents (including theoretical kinetic studies, structural effects on kinetic pathways and effects of H2O clusterization on kinetics).
- Reactions between peroxy radicals (e.g. studies of RO2 + RO2, RO2 + HO2, RO2 + R’O2, etc.).
- The complex chemistry of peroxy radical oxidation reactions of tropospheric hydrocarbons and production of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM).
- The role of peroxy radical oxidation in ozone formation (including RO2 propagation under high and low NOx conditions).
- Methods for detection of atmospheric peroxy radicals (spectroscopic, analytical, field measurements).
- Regional concentration measurements.
Air Quality in Emerging Economic Regions
Submissions open:
Now open for submissions
Deadline:
15 December 2024
Guest editor(s):
Francis Pope (The University of Birmingham)
Vinayak Sinha (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali)
Michael Gatari (University of Nairobi)
This gold open-access themed collection will be a home for studies improving our current understanding of emissions and air quality in emerging economic regions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Historical analyses, current observations, and future projections of air quality trends. Can include air quality case studies such as post-recovery of the Covid-19 pandemic or responses to air pollution emergencies during exceedances of ambient air quality standards.
- Air quality monitoring and mapping approaches. Novel sensor implementation and monitoring methods, including algorithm development, are particularly encouraged. Providing evidence of the validation and successful application of novel approaches will be important.
- The role of tropospheric oxidant chemistry in impacting air quality.
- Regional source apportionment and characterisation studies. Including distinctions between urban and remote environments, and industries and activities associated with changes in air quality such as agriculture.
Acknowledging the policy implications and/or health-related impacts of regional air quality will be important for many studies, however providing insight into air quality should be the primary focus. Novel methods of data collection and synthesis are particularly encouraged. Routine air quality monitoring studies will be less applicable for the collection.
As a gold open access journal, Environmental Science: Atmospheres levies an article-processing charge (APC) upon acceptance. However, we do not want this to be a barrier to participation, and we would support waiver and discount applications from authors based in emerging economies.
