A critical review of NO2 and AOD in major Asian cities: challenges, mitigation approaches and way forwards
Atmospheric aerosols and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are a global concern, especially in major Asian cities, because of their multiple impacts on climate, health, ecology, and the environment. Although many studies have been conducted individually, studies on the coupling of NO2 and Aerosol optical depth (AOD) in major Asian cities are still scarce. This study aims to critically evaluate the challenges of AOD and NO2 in Asia through a detailed discussion of the sources and mitigation solutions. The impact and intensity of these two pollutants are severe in countries such as India, China, Bangladesh, India, and Japan. China is the region with the highest AOD in the world. Increases in NO2 and AOD have been observed in the megacities of South Asia (e.g., Lahore, Dhaka, Mumbai, and Kolkata). East Asia (China, South Korea, and Japan) is a significant source of aerosols and their precursors, a complex mixture of coarse and small particles. Diesel vehicles are a significant contributor to NO2 emissions in many Asian cities. High population density, rapid urbanization, increasing energy demand, multiple sources, and the complex chemistry of pollutants pose a significant challenge for AOD and NO2 pollution. This study highlights pollution scenarios, emerging issues, and sources of AOD and NO2 in general that have not been thoroughly studied in earlier research on major Asian cities. To summarize, our study identifies these research gaps and proposes solutions to them which are eco-friendly technology, legislation, policy development, and awareness-raising.
期刊介绍:
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.
It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.
International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.
Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.
This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
