Significant Impact of Rossby Waves on Air Pollution Detected by Network Analysis [PDF]
, 2019 Air pollution is associated with human diseases and has been found to be related to premature mortality. In response, environmental policies have been adopted in many countries, to decrease anthropogenic air pollution for the improvement of long-term air quality, since most air pollutant sources are anthropogenic.
