Billions of people worldwide reside within urban areas, and their number is expected to grow in the future. Proximity to air pollution sources including industrial activity, vehicles, and domestic combustion all contribute to worsening air quality, which can lead to severe negative health impacts and premature death. Investigating both sources and health impacts of air pollution in cities is therefore key to inform air quality policies, protect vulnerable populations, and improve public health.
This cross-journal collection presents articles that advance our knowledge of urban air quality, in terms of composition, source attribution, and health impacts. We invite submissions from disciplines such as atmospheric chemistry, metrology, and medicine, as well as technological solutions and management strategies.
