This special issue on air pollution and modeling applications is dedicated to publishing selected abstracts presented at the 4th Community Modeling and Analysis System (CMAS) South America (https://cmasconference.com.br). The 4th CMAS South America event was held in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, from 22 to 24, 2019. Previous CMAS events in South America were in Sao Paulo (Brazil – 2013), Bogota (Colombia – 2015), and Vitória (Brazil – 2017) , with a significant number of participants each year. In Belo Horizonte, we had a total number of 180 posters, 90 oral presentations, five Keynote Speakers, and six special sessions. Previous to the conference, we had 5-day courses on air quality numerical modeling and industrial ventilation. After the conference, we had a 1-day course about aerosol measurements and source apportionment for air quality management. Also, a technical tour was offered to evaluate the impacts on the physical environment resulting from the collapse of the Fundão Dam, Mariana, Minas Gerais. The conference sections included: Air Quality, Climate and Energy; Emissions Inventories, Models, and Processes; Model Development; Model Development; Modeling to Support Exposure and Health Studies and Community-scale Applications; Regulatory Modeling and SIP Applications; Remote Sensing /Measurements Studies/New Sensors Technologies; Atmospheric Boundary Layer: Observing and Responsible editor: Philippe Garrigues * Taciana Toledo de Almeida Albuquerque [email protected] 1

Modeling; Environmental Odors; Management of Gaseous Emissions in Sewage Treatment Plants; Air Pollution Control; and Air Pollution at Critical Infrastructure Sites and Its Influence for the Society. The abstracts presented in the Conference are available on-line in the proceedings (https:// cmasconference.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/LivroAir-Pollution-2019-Final-V03-min.pdf). It was considered very valuable also for the tightening of groups from South America with other countries and institutions, in particular, the CMAS in the USA. The previous conference of CMAS South America focused mainly in the field of air quality modeling. Still, the recognition of its importance in South America turned it to an Air Pollution meeting, bringing together most of the involved researchers and students. Moreover, it was an opportunity to improve the knowledge and skills involved in the air quality modeling field. At that time, there wa
