Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Concentration

This dataset provides near real-time high-resolution imagery of NO2 concentrations. They enter the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic activities (notably fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning) and natural processes (wildfires, lightning, and microbiological processes in soils). Geospatially derived nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration is a measure of the amount of nitrogen dioxide, a toxic gas, in the atmosphere at a given location. This concentration is typically determined using satellite-based sensors, which can detect the presence of NO2 in the atmosphere. Nitrogen dioxide is a harmful air pollutant that can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. The concentration of NO2 in the atmosphere can be represented as a map or spatial dataset using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, and can be used to monitor and manage air pollution.
