Air Quality in China (4th Edition)
This special issue belongs to the section "Air Quality".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of the Special Issue, titled ‘Air Pollution in China (3rd Edition)’ published in Atmosphere in 2025 and will cover all aspects of Chinese atmospheric-pollution issues.
In China, serious air pollution, caused by human activities and partly natural factors, has been apparent since around the 1990s. It is worth mentioning that local air quality has greatly improved in the past decade, mainly due to progress in institutional and technical measures since the 2010s. However, the trajectory of air pollution in China is changing at present due to the compound event of photochemical and aerosol pollution, and air pollution control has thus entered a new phase.
This Special Issue, ‘Air Quality in China (4th Edition)’ invites submissions of innovative papers that will help with the development of the Chinese atmospheric environment and the implementation of effective air pollution control strategies in the future.
