Using satellite remote sensing to estimate intra-urban disparities in air pollution health impacts in Washington DC

Mapping Dispersion of Urban Air Pollution with Remote Sensing

Dispersion of air pollution depends upon various factors including weather conditions, topography and local situation, causing large variation, even in small areas. In addition to mathematical dispersion models and interpolation methods, remote sensing can improve mapping of the spatial distribution of urban air pollution, although no dedicated sensors exist. We used aerosol optical thickness, ...

Tabriz Intra-urban Spatial Disparities

To achieve sustainable urban development and values from social justice; it is essential that all citizens enjoy resources, facilities and life opportunities equally. Due to lack of a stable or systematic approach of measuring urban problems, disparity in environmental conditions or access to social and physical infrastructures is more obvious, especially in the cities of developing countries. ...

Remote Sensing of Air Pollution by Lidar

Recent progresses in remote sensing of atmospheric pollution using the Lidar technique are presented. 2D and 3D analysis of NO, N02, S02, and 0 3 were performed at high sensitivity under emission and immission conditions. Most attractive results were obtained over large urban areas like Lyon, Stuttgart, Ziirich, Geneva and Berlin. New Lidar systems, based on selfdeveloped Flashlamp-pumped Ti:Sa...

Satellite remote sensing of surface air quality

Satellite remote sensing of air quality has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Global observations are now available for a wide range of species including aerosols, tropospheric O3, tropospheric NO2, CO, HCHO, and SO2. Capabilities for satellite remote sensing of these species in the boundary layer are reviewed for current instruments, along with physical processes affecting their accur...
