Reliable estimates of outdoor air pollution concentrations are needed to support global actions to improve public health. We developed a new approach to estimating annual average outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO) concentrations using approximately 20,000...
The efficiency of disease prevention and medical care service necessitated the prediction of incidence. However, predictive accuracy and power were largely impeded in a complex system including multiple environmental stressors and health outcome of w...
Empirical spatial air pollution models have been applied extensively to assess exposure in epidemiological studies with increasingly sophisticated and complex statistical algorithms beyond ordinary linear regression. However, different algorithms hav...
BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of nitrogen dioxide (NO) and nitrogen oxide (NO) concentrations at high spatiotemporal resolutions is crucial for improving evaluation of their health effects, particularly with respect to short-term exposures and acut...
BACKGROUND: Chronic respiratory symptoms involving bronchitis, cough and phlegm in children are underappreciated but pose a significant public health burden. Efforts for prevention and management could be supported by an understanding of the relative...
Air pollution poses health concerns at the global scale. The challenge of managing air pollution is significant because of the many air pollutants, insufficient funds for monitoring and abatement programs, and political and social challenges in defin...

The paper presents the screening of various feedforward neural networks (FANN) and wavelet-feedforward neural networks (WFANN) applied to time series of ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5 fractions...
Nitrogen dioxide (NO) is a major air pollutant in urban areas, prompting the development of numerous analytical methods for its monitoring. Among these, the chemiluminescence method stands out as the most commonly used and is widely regarded as a ref...
As an important atmospheric pollutant causing serious harm to human health and the natural environment, monitoring of surface NO (SNO) level is of critical importance. However, the current SNO retrieval models neglect to consider the influence of NO ...
Air pollution backcasting, especially nitrogen dioxide (NO), is crucial in epidemiological studies, thus enabling the reconstruction of historical exposure levels for assessing long-term health effects. Changes in NO concentrations in urban areas are...
