About the Journal
Advances of Atmospheric Chemistry (AAC) is a premier international, open-access journal committed to disseminating pioneering research, methodological innovations, and transformative interdisciplinary applications in atmospheric chemistry and related fields. AAC is aimed to foster scientific discourse on the dynamic interactions between atmospheric constituents, physicochemical processes, and their cascading impacts on Earth systems, human health, and societal development. The journal prioritizes mechanistic insights into atmospheric evolution, technological advancements in pollution mitigation, and evidence-based strategies for addressing global environmental challenges.
AAC encompasses fundamental theoretical breakthroughs, cutting-edge analytical techniques, and multi-scale applications spanning molecular-level mechanisms to planetary-scale phenomena. The journal’s scope is organized around five interdisciplinary pillars:
· Atmospheric Composition Dynamics
Molecular reactivity of trace gases, aerosols, and radicals
Reaction mechanisms under variable environmental conditions
Isotopic and spectroscopic diagnostics of atmospheric processes
· Pollution Source Attribution and Transport Modeling
Receptor modeling and emission inventory development
Atmospheric transport and chemical data assimilation
Machine learning-driven prediction of pollutant dispersion
· Climate-Chemistry Coupling Mechanisms
Radiative forcing of climate pollutants (SLCPs) and greenhouse gases
Biogeochemical feedbacks in terrestrial-atmospheric interfaces
Paleo-atmospheric reconstructions and climate-chemistry model
· Emerging Contaminants and Toxicological Impacts
Atmospheric behavior of nanotechnology-derived particles and organic pollutants
In situ/ex situ health risk assessment of airborne toxics
Exposure science and epidemiological correlations
· Sustainable Atmospheric Governance
Emission technologies and carbon capture
Air quality management frameworks
Ttransboundary environmental governance
