Air Pollution Control and Sustainable Development

Overview & Synopsis

This Reprint, titled "Air Pollution Control and Sustainable Development: Urban Air Quality Assessment and Pollution Control Technologies," focuses on urban air quality monitoring, assessment methodologies, and advanced pollution control technologies. It brings together research exploring spatial–temporal dynamics of air pollution in urban agglomerations, innovative emission reduction technologies including SCR systems, biological treatments for volatile organic compounds, and cyclone separators. The studies span diverse geographical contexts, from PM2.5 evolution patterns in Chinese urban clusters to air quality monitoring in decarbonization contexts. By emphasizing both assessment methodologies and practical technological solutions, this Reprint offers insights into how monitoring systems and control technologies can address urban air pollution challenges. It examines relationships between population mobility, urbanization, economic growth, and air quality, providing a holistic understanding of factors influencing urban atmospheric environments. This collection serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners implementing evidence-based strategies to improve urban air quality and support sustainability objectives in urbanizing regions worldwide.
