[H+T--Friends] Fwd: Paper Invitation from PubMed and Web of Science Indexed Journal: [IJERPH-IF 2.101] Special Issue “Transportation-Related Air Pollution and Human Health”

by Ellin Reisner

If you are interested in submitting a research paper in the special issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health on Transportation Related Air Pollution and Health see the forwarded message below. Ellin Reisner ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Doug Brugge <doug.brugge(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 9:07 AM Subject: Paper Invitation from PubMed and Web of Science Indexed Journal: [IJERPH-IF 2.101] Special Issue “Transportation-Related Air Pollution and Human Health” To: Dear Colleague, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health / ( http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph, Impact Factor: 2.101) is currently running a Special Issue entitled “Transportation-Related Air Pollution and Human Health”. I am from Tufts University School of Medicine, serving as Guest Editor for this issue. Given your expertise and your published papers I hope you will consider a submission. IJERPH is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. Article Processing Charges of CHF 1600 (APC) apply to accepted papers. It is now well established that living near major roadways and highways is associated with increased risk of a range of adverse health outcomes including cardiovascular disease, respiratory illnesses and neurological problems. Accordingly, research is focused increasingly on which pollutants in the environment near transportation are most responsible and how to reduce exposure through regional and local policy and though individual protective measures such as air filters. For this issue, I invite submissions that in any way inform the issue of transportation-related pollution and health, including, but not limited to, environmental monitoring, epidemiology, policy, public health and community-level interventions. For further reading, please follow the link to the Special Issue Website at: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/ Transportation-Related_Air_Pollution_and_Human_Health. The submission deadline is *1 September 2018*. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance ( gina.liu(a)mdpi.com). For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ ijerph/instructions). We look forward to hearing from you.
