Atmospheric peroxy radicals play a significant role in the formation and degradation of air pollutants. Understanding the chemistry and behaviour of peroxy radicals can help improve air quality models, leading to more accurate predictions of pollution levels and their impacts on human health and the environment. Additionally, peroxy radicals are key intermediates in atmospheric oxidation processes, influencing the atmospheric lifetime of greenhouse gases and contributing to climate change dynamics.

Studying air quality in emerging economic regions is crucial for protecting public health as these areas often experience rapid industrialization and urbanization, leading to elevated pollution levels. Understanding the sources and composition of air pollutants in these regions is critical for implementing effective pollution control measures and mitigating the adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Addressing air quality issues in emerging economic regions is essential for sustainable development, as poor air quality can impede economic growth and hinder progress towards achieving global environmental goals.

Solar Radiation Management (SRM), or solar geoengineering, refers to emerging climate techniques aimed at reflecting some of the sunlight back into space to reduce global temperatures. Understanding the mechanisms and potential impacts of SRM, as well as the broader field of solar geoengineering, can refine climate models, leading to more accurate projections of their efficacy and risks. SRM has the potential to reduce climate impacts globally, yet it also carries significant risks and uncertainties.

We welcome contributors in diverse topics, included but not limited to indoor chemistry in the gas-phase, aerosol particles, and on surfaces; building materials and processes that impact indoor air quality; human behaviors, experiences, and impacts; outdoor indoor exchange of pollutants such as wildfire smoke; viruses and virus inactivation; and modeling across scales. This list is not exhaustive and other research areas that intersect with this theme are very welcome.

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts is a transformative journal publishing high quality papers in all areas of the environmental chemical sciences, including chemistry of the air, water, soil and sediment. We welcome studies on the environmental fate and effects of anthropogenic and naturally occurring contaminants, both chemical and microbiological, as well as related natural element cycling processes.

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts strongly prefers significant contributions whose results can be generalised to other systems, especially studies that characterise chemical processes (e.g. chemical and (micro)biological transformations and transport) as well as those that address contaminant impacts on ecosystems and human health. We also welcome high impact field studies, particularly those that are broad enough to define occurrence baselines or long-term trends, identify new contaminants, or those that enrich our molecular-level understanding of environmental systems.

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts also invites papers that bridge between environmental chemistry and sustainability topics, such as life cycle assessment, materials flow analysis, and environmental decision making.

As climate change emerges as an existential issue, with amplified challenges facing urban water systems, understanding, appreciation, and interventions in this critical sector need to be improved. This themed collection aims to combine research from across a range of methodologies to better inform responses to climate change while unpacking the complexities of assessing the impacts of climate extremes, variability, and change on urban risk, city vulnerability, and adaptation strategies.

We welcome interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary articles that leverage knowledge from various fields to advance understanding in the nexus of climate change, water, and cities, and contribute to resilient urban water management.

We welcome original research papers, communications, and Review articles.

Wastewater surveillance for public health has been a key tool in tracking SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics and COVID-19 prevalence in communities since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with traditional diagnostic surveillance programs scaling down, insights from wastewater will be even more crucial for COVID-19. Simultaneously, the wastewater surveillance footprint is expanding to include other microorganisms and human pathogens.

The global interest and widespread application of wastewater surveillance throughout this period has resulted in unprecedented advances in the field. Accordingly, this special issue of ESWRT calls for papers that create new knowledge and/or reflections through case studies, laboratory investigations, data synthesis and analysis, and/or modeling. We seek original studies that advance the field of wastewater surveillance, critical reviews that identify forward looking research gaps and opportunities, and perspectives that establish new paradigms and thinking on the potential applications of wastewater surveillance for public health.

We welcome original research papers, communications, and Review articles.
