However, PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration is influenced by various factors and follows a dynamic temporal distribution, potentially reducing the generalization capability of prediction models for future prediction. To address this issue, we propose a novel temporal domain generalization method modeled from a distribution perspective. This method aims to extract invariant information from dynamic and time-varying temporal distributions to improve future prediction by combining adversarial training and deep variational information bottleneck (Deep VIB). Specifically, the training data is first segmented into multiple temporal domains characterized by the largest temporal distribution differences. Deep VIB is then employed to extract fine-grained features, combined with a domain classifier to eliminate domain-specific information through adversarial training. Finally, only the trained feature extractor and predictor are applied to the prediction process. This approach enables the prediction model to simultaneously extract domain-invariant features while minimizing prediction errors, thereby enhancing its generalization capability. Experimental results from real-world data demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art prediction models, achieving average improvements of 3% in mean absolute error, 7% in root mean square error, and 3% in R-square compared to the best baseline models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8604,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Pollution Research","volume":"16 5","pages":"Article 102472"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143487694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, from an equity perspective, the air pollution situation in non-urban areas warrants more in-depth investigation. Limited research still exists on the non-urban air pollution. This study examined the urban-rural spatiotemporal heterogeneity of NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and O<sub>3</sub> in the Anhui Province from 2019 to 2023. Using Google Earth Engine (GEE), ArcGIS, and R language, the analysis integrated TROPOMI column concentration data with natural and social influencing factors. The results revealed the following: (1) The concentrations of NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and O<sub>3</sub> exhibit a declining trend during the annual plum rain season. NO<sub>2</sub> and CO concentrations show inter-annual fluctuating decreases, whereas O<sub>3</sub> demonstrates a fluctuating increase. NO<sub>2</sub> and CO concentrations are lowest in summer and increase synchronously during autumn and winter. The highest correlation coefficient between NO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>3</sub> concentrations occurs in spring, at −0.946. (2) From January to March each year, the maximum concentrations of CO and O<sub>3</sub> are more likely to occur in non-urban built-up areas. Compared to 2019, the average area proportions of increased CO and NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations in urban built-up areas across all four seasons in 2023 are 8.91% and 4.93%, respectively, significantly lower than those in non-urban built-up areas (91.08% and 95.05%). Except for summer, O<sub>3</sub> concentrations show an increasing trend throughout the entire province.

This suggests that the variation in NO<sub>2</sub> pollution among cities is relatively small, while the spatial imbalance of O<sub>3</sub> pollution is pronounced, with the highest average O<sub>3</sub> concentrations observed in cities in northern Anhui.

PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations were greater in urban households in the summer (50 μg/m<sup>3</sup> (95% CI: 41–63) and in the winter (82 μg/m<sup>3</sup> (95% CI: 62–109)) compared to rural households (summer: 19 μg/m<sup>3</sup> (95%: CI 14–26) and winter: 48 μg/m<sup>3</sup> (95% CI: 44–53)). The log-linear model (n = 39) explained 74% of the variance in leave-one-out cross validation. Significant associations with household PM<sub>2.5</sub> were observed with the following: the season, study setting, presence of tobacco smoking, presence of incense burning inside the dwelling, and the use of heating.
