About This Topic

This special issue focuses on the potential environmental risks caused by anthropogenic pollution like atmospheric GHG emissions and the elements affecting human health, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxides, and fine particles (PMs). Other pollutant elements like oil or contaminant fluids spillage on the ground, water contamination, and solid waste deserve attention in this special issue. The issue aims include managing the pollutant elements and the engineering design to prevent, control, and monitor pollution levels of all types. This issue is especially concerning in human health affectation and the ways of avoiding risks to human lives due to pollutant emissions and waste. Original research articles, specialized and book reviews, communications, conference and scientific reports, and technical notes are welcome. The contributions should be of high quality and provide significant advances to the topic state of the art.

Open Access Original Research GHG Emissions Management in Urban Areas by Interactive Road Traffic Control: Application of Artificial Intelligence by Carlos Armenta-Déu Received: 04 June 2025;  Published: 03 December 2025;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2504033 Abstract The rising pollution levels in congested urban areas pose a serious threat to human health. Many solutions have been proposed to control and reduce gas emissions from road traffic, with results that are not entirely satisfactory. The adoption of new techniques and methodologies for early detection of pollutant emissions may enable effective [...]
