Guest edited by Rami Alfarra (Hamad bin Khalifa University), Sergey Nizkorodov (University of California, Irvine) and Albert Presto (Carnegie Mellon University), Environmental Science: Atmospheres is delighted to highlight our new collection exploring Disaster Emissions and Effects on Air Quality
Disaster Emissions and Effects on Air Quality is a broad collection that aims to publish work that highlights the impact that disasters can have on air quality, and by extension, on all Earth environmental systems. The collection will aim to include articles focussing on emission, transport, deposition, chemical transformation, and monitoring of contaminants that appeared in the atmosphere as a result of disastrous events.
A collection considering all aspects of Disaster Emissions in connection to the Earth atmosphere, including topics such as, but not limited to:
- Natural phenomena such as unusually powerful wildfires, dust storms and volcanoes.
- Industrial disasters such as chemical releases, urban fires, oil spills, nuclear accidents, etc.
- Past, current, and possible future military conflicts.
- Emissions, transport, deposition, chemical transformation, and monitoring of the disaster-related air contaminants.
- Exposure, risk and health implications of atmospheric disaster emissions on biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.
This themed collection will include all manuscript types: original research papers, communications, perspectives and review articles. If authors are interested in submitting a review article, please send an outline proposal to the editors at esatmospheres-rsc@rsc.org for approval and official invitation.
Article publication online and in issues will occur without delay to ensure the timely dissemination of the work. The articles will then be assembled on the RSC Publishing platform and promoted as a web-based thematic collection, to permit readers to consult and download individual contributions from the entire series.
The submission deadline is 1st November 2025.
If you’re interested, we invite you to submit your research today, quoting ‘EADEAQ25’ when submitting your manuscript.
