Liang et al.: The 17-y spatiotemporal trend of PM2.5 and its mortality burden in China

Yang Liu PhD September 23, 2020 0 Comments
Estimation of the chronic health effects of PM2.5 exposure has been hindered by the lack of long-term PM2.5 data in China. To support this, high-performance machine-learning models were developed to estimate PM2.5 concentrations at 1-km resolution in China from 2000 to 2016, based on satellite data, meteorological conditions, land cover information, road networks, and air...

Wang et al.: Satellite-based assessment of the long-term efficacy of PM2.5 pollution control policies across the Taiwan Strait

Evaluating the efficacy of air pollution control policies is an essential part of the decision-making process to develop new policies and improve existing measures.  In this analysis, we assessed the effects air pollution control policies in the Taiwan Strait Region from 2005 to 2018 using full-coverage, high-resolution PM2.5generated by a satellite-driven machine learning model. A ten-fold...
