Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive nitrogen and halogen play important roles in atmospheric chemistry, and affect air pollution and the climate. For instance, reactive nitrogen and halogen significantly affect the atmosphere’s oxidizing capacity, which determines the removal of primary pollutants and the formation of secondary pollutants, as well as the lifetime of greenhouse gases (i.e., methane). In polluted regions particularly, reactive nitrogen and halogen species exhibit relatively higher abundances, and their impacts are more pronounced.
As reactive nitrogen and halogen are attracting increasing attention, this Special Issue aims to collect original research and review papers on the most recent findings on reactive nitrogen and halogen. It is particularly important for us to have a more in-depth understanding of atmospheric processes—including anthropogenic and natural emissions, and chemical transformation, transportation, and removal mechanisms—to better quantify the impacts of reactive nitrogen and halogen in the atmosphere. Studies containing field measurements, laboratory experiments, box/regional/global model simulations, remote sensing, and technological developments are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The emission sources of reactive nitrogen and halogen;
- The atmospheric chemistry of reactive nitrogen and halogen;
- The impacts of reactive nitrogen and halogen in the atmosphere;
- The development of technology and methods for measuring and modelling reactive nitrogen and halogen.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
