We are delighted to announce that the Environmental Science: Atmospheres themed collection on air quality in emerging economic regions is now online.
Understanding the sources and composition of air pollutants in emerging economic regions is essential for implementing effective pollution control measures and mitigating the adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Addressing air quality issues in these regions is important for sustainable development, as poor air quality can impede economic growth and hinder progress towards achieving global environmental goals. This collection highlights the impactful atmospheric science research occurring in these regions.
Our collection was guest edited by Francis Pope (The University of Birmingham), Vinayak Sinha (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali), Michael Gatari (University of Nairobi).
