Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association is the research title of the Air & Waste Management Association, published by Taylor & Francis, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association》是空气与废物管理协会的研究型会刊，由 Taylor & Francis 出版，2025 年影响因子 2.4。
Volume 45 began in January 1995 and volume 76 is the 2026 volume, which keeps the monthly rhythm the National Library of Medicine recorded for it.第 45 卷从 1995 年 1 月起算，第 76 卷对应 2026 年，月刊的节奏与国家医学图书馆的著录一致。
Scope
The title holds two subjects that other journals keep apart, air and waste, and a single issue will carry atmospheric measurement next to landfill or incinerator practice.题目里并着两件别的刊物分开做的事，空气与废物，同一期里大气测量可以和填埋场、焚烧炉的实践排在一起。
Ambient particulate work is the largest single strand, and positive matrix factorization has been used here to apportion visibility degradation to sources of PM2.5.环境颗粒物是最大的一股，正定矩阵因子分解在这本刊里被用来把能见度下降分摊到 PM2.5 的各路来源上。
Exposure studies follow particles indoors, with an analysis of how ambient particle composition and size shape infiltration in residences in Los Angeles, California.暴露研究跟着颗粒物进屋，有一篇分析加州洛杉矶住宅里环境颗粒物的成分与粒径如何决定其渗入量。
Method comparison is treated as publishable work in its own right, and collocated continuous and filter-based PM2.5 measurements at Fort McMurray, Alberta, were reported on that basis.方法比对本身就算可发表的工作，阿尔伯塔省麦克默里堡的连续法与滤膜法 PM2.5 并行比对就是按这个理由刊出的。
Long-term records are mined rather than merely cited, as in an analysis of yearly changes in sulfur concentrations at national parks of the United States across the years 1980 to 1996.长期记录是被挖过的，不只是被引用，比如把 1980 到 1996 年美国各国立公园硫浓度的逐年变化算了一遍。
Regional transport is handled with tracer programmes, and the MOHAVE tracer data were used to characterise transport and dispersion over a desert region.区域输送靠示踪计划处理，MOHAVE 的示踪数据被用来刻画沙漠地区的输送与扩散。
Emissions from combustion get predictive treatment, with dioxin and furan releases from incinerators estimated from low-molecular-weight products of incomplete combustion.燃烧排放走的是预测路子，焚烧炉的二噁英与呋喃释放量，靠不完全燃烧的低分子产物来估算。
Mobile sources appear through the equipment that is supposed to police them, and the validity of on-board diagnostics for older vehicles has been tested against remote sensing.移动源是从管它的设备那侧进来的，老旧车辆车载诊断的有效性被拿去和遥感读数对过。
Health questions are answered with environmental data rather than clinical trials, as in an epidemiological study of waste incineration and pulmonary function across six communities.健康问题用环境数据回答，不靠临床试验，比如覆盖六个社区的垃圾焚烧与肺功能流行病学研究。
Waste management is assessed with decision tools, from multi-criteria analysis of future scenarios for health care waste to the efficiency of municipal collection and disposal in the Yangtze River Delta.废物管理用决策工具来评，从医疗废物未来情景的多准则分析，到长江三角洲城市垃圾收运与处置的效率。
Remediation and treatment works supply their own literature, and hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen source for bioremediation in saturated aquifers has appeared beside control of volatile organic emissions at publicly owned treatment works.修复与处理设施自成一块文献，饱和含水层里用双氧水做生物修复的氧源，与公有处理厂挥发性有机物排放的控制并排刊出。
Policy-facing papers stay technical, and the costs of inspection and maintenance programmes were argued on the evidence of the programmes themselves rather than on principle.面向政策的论文仍然技术化，检查与维护项目的成本是拿项目自己的证据来争的，不从原则出发。
Three subject categories in the citation index follow that spread, with environmental engineering, environmental sciences and meteorology each taking a share of the journal.引文索引里的三个类目就跟着这个分布走，环境工程、环境科学、气象与大气科学各分走一份。
History
The title opened at volume 45, number 1 in January 1995, which is where the National Library of Medicine starts its MEDLINE coverage and where the volume numbering still runs from.本刊从 1995 年 1 月的第 45 卷第 1 期开始，国家医学图书馆的 MEDLINE 收录也从这一期起，卷号至今顺着这条线走。
The association had published before that under another name, and the Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association keeps an ISSN of its own with deposits that stop in the 1980s.协会此前用另一个刊名出版过，《Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association》有自己的 ISSN，存缴记录到上世纪八十年代为止。
Twelve issues a year is the standing pattern, and volume 76 had ten of them closed when the record was read.一年十二期是定式，读到记录时第 76 卷已经出满十期。
Crossref holds 4,100 items for the title, of which 3,902 belong to the backfile and 198 are current deposits.Crossref 为这本刊存了 4100 条，3902 条属于回溯库，198 条是现刊存缴。
The busiest year in the record is 2000 with 206 items, and volume 71 for 2021 came close with 131 before the count fell to 73 in 2023 and 66 in 2025.记录里最忙的一年是 2000 年，206 条，2021 年的第 71 卷以 131 条紧随其后，之后 2023 年降到 73 条，2025 年 66 条。
The imprint moved from Pittsburgh, where the association is based, to Philadelphia when Taylor & Francis took over publication, and the catalogue keeps both addresses in one record.出版印记从协会所在的匹兹堡移到费城，因为出版转到 Taylor & Francis 手上，目录把两个地址记在同一条里。
The Journal Impact Factor went from 2.636 for 2022 to 2.1 for 2023, 2.2 for 2024 and 2.4 for 2025, with the five-year figure higher at 2.9.影响因子 2022 年是 2.636，2023 年 2.1，2024 年 2.2，2025 年 2.4，五年影响因子更高，为 2.9。
Environmental engineering puts it in the fourth quartile at 67 of 88 titles on the 24.4th percentile, while environmental sciences places it at 276 of 395 on the 30.3rd and meteorology at 79 of 114 on the 31.1st.环境工程类把它列在第四区，88 种刊中排 67，百分位 24.4；环境科学类列 395 种中的第 276，百分位 30.3；气象类列 114 种中的第 79，百分位 31.1。
The 2025 release records 6,054 citations against 60 citable items drawn from 53 articles, a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.36, an immediacy index of 0.8 and a cited half-life of twelve years.2025 年版记下总被引 6054 次，53 篇文章给出 60 篇可引条目，期刊引文指标 0.36，即年指标 0.8，被引半衰期十二年。
A half-life of twelve years is long for a journal that publishes monthly, and it says the backfile keeps being read by regulators and consultants rather than only by the authors' own field.对一本月刊来说十二年半衰期算长，说明回溯库还在被监管者与顾问读，不只是被作者自己的圈子读。
Gold open access covers 11.23 per cent of the papers, so the journal runs as a subscription title with a hybrid route that a minority of authors take.金色开放获取覆盖 11.23% 的论文，刊物走订阅路线，混合通道只有少数作者使用。
MEDLINE, PubMed and Index Medicus all index the title from volume 45, number 1, and the medical bibliography is therefore complete from 1995 rather than selective.MEDLINE、PubMed 与《Index Medicus》都从第 45 卷第 1 期起收录，所以 1995 年以后的医学书目是完整的，不是选摘。
The single record dated 1994 in the deposit marks the handover year, when the old title had stopped and the new numbering had not yet started.存缴里唯一一条署 1994 年的记录标出交接那一年，旧刊名已停，新卷号还没接上。
Editors
S. Trivikrama Rao signed the message from the Technical Editor-in-Chief that opened volumes 63, 64 and 65 in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and his farewell ran in volume 71, issue 12 in 2021.2012、2013、2014 年第 63、64、65 卷开卷的《技术主编的话》都由 S. Trivikrama Rao 署名，他的告别文章登在 2021 年第 71 卷第 12 期。
The same message had two signatories in 2011, when Tim Keener and George Hidy wrote it jointly under a plural title, and the office appears to have gone from two hands to one the next year.同一种文章在 2011 年有两个署名，Tim Keener 与 George Hidy 联署，标题用的是复数，第二年这个位置看起来由两人变成了一个人。
An earlier holder of the post said goodbye in volume 53, issue 6 of 2003, where Petros Koutrakis signed the farewell that closed his term.更早一任在 2003 年第 53 卷第 6 期道别，Petros Koutrakis 在那篇告别文上署名，任期到此为止。
Reviewer lists are printed rather than implied, and one appears in the first issue of most volumes, running from the 2011 index of reviewers at pages 118 to 135 of volume 62 to a 2022 list at pages 132 to 134 of volume 72.审稿人名单是印出来的，不是暗示的，多数卷的期首都有，从 2011 年第 62 卷第 118 至 135 页的审稿人索引，一直排到 2022 年第 72 卷第 132 至 134 页的名单。
The 2016 list ran past ten pages in volume 67, issue 2, and the message beside it dedicates that issue to the journal's reviewers and editors.2016 年那份名单在第 67 卷第 2 期占了十页以上，旁边那篇主编的话把这期献给刊物的审稿人与编辑。
Thanking the reviewers is treated as editorial business rather than a formality, and separate notices carry titles such as a growing journal thanks its peer reviewers.谢审稿人被当成一项编辑事务，而不是礼节，单独的致谢条目就写着「一本成长中的刊物感谢它的同行评审人」这样的话。
Letters to the editor are published with bylines, and exchanges on published papers keep their place in the volume rather than being pushed to a comment section.读者来信带署名刊出，围绕已刊论文的往来留在卷里，没有被推到评论区去。
The technical editor is the office the record exposes, and the association's own governance sits behind it, since the Air & Waste Management Association is named as the society the journal is published for.记录里露出来的是技术主编这个位置，协会的治理在它背后，因为刊物明确为空气与废物管理协会而办。
The publisher's editorial board page answers automated requests with a refusal, so no full masthead with office holders and affiliations was taken from the site.出版方的编委页面对自动请求一律回绝，主持人与所属机构俱全的编委名单没能从站点取到。
What the deposit exposes instead is a line of signed messages, the annual reviewer rolls and the notice practice, which is enough to date the office but not to list everyone who holds it.存缴里露出来的是接连的署名文章、每年的审稿人名单与声明惯例，够给这个位置标出年份，不够把坐过的人列全。
