Causal effect of PM2.5 on the urban heat island
Frontiers in Big DataThe planet is experiencing global warming, with an increasing number of heat waves worldwide. Cities are particularly affected by the high temperatures because of the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This phenomenon is mostly explained by the land cover changes, reduced green spaces, and the concentration of infrastructure in urban settings.

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019 It is known that there are severe heat-island effects in the urbanized area such as Taipei and that temperature increases are causing hydrological change. The city continues to develop, so it is urgent that the region creates early warning methods.
