In this report, the evolution of PM2.5 concentration at Escuelas Aguirre monitoring station during the quarters of 2019 and the significance of the differences with the concentration of the quarters of previous years is analysed. These…
Air pollution is a pressing environmental risk to public health, particularly in cities where population density and pollution levels are high. Traditional methods for exposure analysis often rely on census data, but recent studies…
Air pollution is a chronic problem in large cities worldwide and awareness is rising as the long-term health implications become clearer. Vehicular traffic has been identified as a major contributor to poor air quality. In a lot of cities…
Very unhealthy air quality is consistently connected with numerous diseases. Appropriate extreme analysis and accurate predictions are in rising demand for exploring potential linked causes and for providing suggestions for the…
Ground-level ozone and particulate matter pollutants are associated with a variety of health issues and increased mortality. For this reason, Mexican environmental agencies regulate pollutant levels. In addition, Mexico City defines…
Urban traffic emissions represent a significant concern due to their detrimental impacts on both public health and the environment. Consequently, decision-makers have flagged their reduction as a crucial goal. In this study, we first…
Air quality has become one of the main issues in public health and urban planning management, due to the proven adverse effects of high pollutant concentrations. Considering the mitigation measures that cities all over the world are taking…
In this work we investigate the short-term variations in air quality emissions, attributed to the prevention measures, applied in different cities, to mitigate the COVID-19 spread. In particular, we emphasize on the concentration effects…
'Lockdown' periods in response to COVID-19 have provided a unique opportunity to study the impacts of economic activity on environmental pollution (e.g. NO$_2$, aerosols, noise, light). The effects on NO$_2$ and aerosols have been very…
This study analyses the actual effect of a representative low-emission zone (LEZ) in terms of shifting vehicle registrations towards alternative fuel technologies and its effectiveness for reducing vehicle fleet CO2 emissions. Vehicle…
Background: On March 19, 2020, the government of California ordered all 40 million Californians to stay at home in the coming weeks as the result of the escalation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As lockdowns were…
Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts regional air quality and contributes substantially to pollutant emissions. Suburban freeway corridors are a major source of traffic-related emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and…
Air pollution is among the highest contributors to mortality worldwide, especially in urban areas. During spring 2020, many countries enacted social distancing measures in order to slow down the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A particularly…
The level of air quality in urban centres is affected by emission of several pollutants, mainly coming from the vehicles flowing in their road networks. This is a well known phenomenon that influences the quality of life of people. Despite…
Air pollution has been on continuous rise with increase in industrialization in metropolitan cities of the world. Several measures including strict climate laws and reduction in the number of vehicles were implemented by several nations.…
Pollution in urban areas can have significant adverse effects on the health and well-being of citizens, with traffic-related air pollution being a major concern in many cities. Pollutants emitted by vehicles, such as nitrogen oxides, carbon…
Field measurement campaigns have grown exponentially in recent years, stemming from the need for reliable data to validate urban climate models and obtain a better understanding of urban climate features. Also contributing to this growth is…
The COVID-19 related lockdown measures offer a unique opportunity to understand how changes in economic activity and traffic affect ambient air quality and how much pollution reduction potential can the society offer through digitalization…
Air pollution has been a long-existing problem for most of the major metropolitan cities of the world. Several measures including strict climate laws and reduction in the number of vehicles were implemented by several nations. However, in…
Ambient concentrations of many pollutants are associated with emissions due to human activity, such as road transport and other combustion sources. In this paper we consider air pollution as a multi--level phenomenon within a Bayesian…
