Aerobiology and Planetary Health: advancing research for a changing world

Seeking research on bioaerosols, environmental change, air quality, and human health. Submit to this special collection celebrating 40 years of Aerobiologia.

The atmosphere is one of Earth's largest and most dynamic ecosystems, influencing both environmental processes and human health. Understanding its biological components has never been more important as societies confront the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. 

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Aerobiologia launched the topical collection Aerobiology and Planetary Health, highlighting the critical role of aerobiological research in addressing global environmental and public health challenges.

The collection welcomes studies on bioaerosol exposure, environmental change, long-term atmospheric trends, methodological innovations such as artificial intelligence and environmental DNA, and strategies to improve air quality and human well-being.

Particular attention is given to research from underrepresented regions, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as interdisciplinary approaches that connect environmental and health sciences. 

Researchers are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications by 31 December 2026. Learn more and submit your work through the collection page: View the Call for Papers
