Mineral dust from desert areas accounts for a large portion of aerosols globally, estimated at 3–4 billion tons per year. Aerosols emitted from arid and semi-arid areas, e.g., from parched lakes or rivers, are transported over long distances an...

Research into the adverse health effects of air pollution exposure has repeatedly considered smaller particles, to the point where particle number concentration might be a more relevant metric than mass concentration. Here, we highlight some historic...

This study assesses the performance of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) reanalysis dataset in estimating ground-level concentrations (GLCs) of aerosols and criteria pollutants across the Himawari-8 observational area, covering Chin...

Overtraffic is one of the main keys to air pollution in urban areas. The aim of the present work is to review the approaches and explore the potentiality of AI in reducing traffic pollution in urban areas, ranging over three main areas: the optimizat...

This paper presents a novel machine learning methodology able to extend the results of detailed local emission inventories to larger domains where emission estimates are not available. The first part of this work consists in the development of an emi...

Harsh winters, aging infrastructure, and the demand for modern amenities are major factors contributing to the deteriorating air quality in Bishkek. The city meets its winter heating energy needs through coal combustion at the central heating plant,...
