COVID-19: air pollution remains low as people stay at home
Air quality, atmosphere and health, 2020 Coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted worldwide in over a very short time, as it was originated in late 2019 from Wuhan city, China. To reduce the possible effects due to COVID-19, some sort of lockdown activities have been applied in many ...

Disparities in PM2.5 air pollution in the United States
Science, 2020 Cleaner skies Particulate air pollution in the contiguous United States has decreased considerably over recent decades, but where exactly has that progress been made? Colmer et al. analyzed 36 years of data and found that the spatial distribution of fine

Regional and global contributions of air pollution to risk of death from COVID-19
Cardiovascular Research, 2020 Aims The risk of mortality from the coronavirus disease that emerged in 2019 (COVID-19) is increased by comorbidity from cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Air pollution also causes excess mortality from these conditions. Analysis of the first severe

ChemSusChem, 2018 AbstractIn this short critical perspective, we outline the serious problems caused by air pollution in Europe. Using two types of metrics, level assessment and trend assessment, we quantify the contribution of ammonia, NOx, SOx, non‐methane volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter in terms of years of life lost per capita and explain the ...

Spatiotemporal deep learning model for citywide air pollution interpolation and prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Recently, air pollution is one of the most concerns for big cities. Predicting air quality for any regions and at any time is a critical requirement of urban citizens. However, air pollution prediction for the whole city is a challenging problem.
