Air Quality, Atmosphere and Health

Aims & Scope

By its very name, Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health illustrates the broad range of work we publish.

The journal spans many disciplines to explore and analyze the atmospheric consequences of human activities, and their implications for human and ecological health.

Air Quality, Atmosphere, & Health offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.

International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import.

Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems.

Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.

Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.

Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors.

Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
