Summary
Urban air pollution remains a leading environmental health risk, yet spatially resolved monitoring is constrained by the sparsity and uneven distribution of ground-based sensor networks, particularly in lowand middle-income cities. This study presents a multi-sensor satellite fusion framework for detecting and mapping urban pollution hotspots across 10 cities spanning seven Köppen–Geiger climate zones: Beijing, Delhi, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Cairo, London, Lagos, Seoul, Mexico City, and Jakarta.
What the report covers
Urban air pollution remains a leading environmental health risk, yet spatially resolved monitoring is constrained by the sparsity and uneven distribution of ground-based sensor networks, particularly in lowand middle-income cities.
This study presents a multi-sensor satellite fusion framework for detecting and mapping urban pollution hotspots across 10 cities spanning seven Köppen–Geiger climate zones: Beijing, Delhi, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Cairo, London, Lagos, Seoul, Mexico City, and Jakarta.
We integrate columnar retrievals from the Sentinel-5P TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI; NO2, CO, SO2, HCHO, O3, UV Aerosol Index), MODIS Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) aerosol optical depth, Sentinel-2 land-surface indices (NDVI, NDBI, BSI), and ERA5 reanalysis meteorology into a unified 1 km gridded feature stack comprising 21 predictor variables per cell.
Why it matters
Urban pollution screening can support environmental reporting, hotspot prioritization, and broader public-health intelligence workflows.
