Machine learning for hours-ahead forecasts of urban air concentrations of oxides of nitrogen from univariate data exploiting trend attributes

The extraction of multiple attributes from past hours in univariate trends of hourly oxides of nitrogen (NOx) recorded at ground-level sites substantially improves NOx hourly forecasts for at least four hours ahead without exogenous-variable inputs.

The association of air quality and complex atmospheric oxidation chemistry in the dispersion and deposition of SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols

This dispersion of infectious aerosols is moderated largely by air pollution. The possible role of O3 on the dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols is emphasized.

Spatio-temporal variation in air quality and unexpected pollution levels during the lamp event over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic

During the lamp event in phase-1 (P1) of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the concentration of air pollutants over the Indo Gangetic Plain (IGP) increased substantially. Analyses show an association of benzene and toluene with PM2.5 due to oil-based emissions.
