Causal effect of PM2.5 on the urban heat island

Frontiers in Big Data
The 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.
