“Outdoor Air Pollution and Human Health” addresses one of the most critical areas of concern in society. Air pollution exposure is well known to cause several diseases and pose a greater risk to human health, and most significantly contributes to cardiopulmonary diseases, stroke, lung cancer, and communicable diseases, such as pneumonia. In addition, recent epidemiological studies have suggested that air pollution is also linked with diabetes, low birth weight, tuberculosis, mental health, and cognitive impacts, such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. This Special Issue (SI) aims to better understand the levels and sources of air pollutants and key contributors to the health burden—critical for implementing effective air pollution control strategies.
