Nitorgen Dioxide(NO₂) Pollution Map of Romania in 2024 with Sentinel-5P data
Air pollution remains a major concern in Romania, impacting public health and quality of life. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), primarily emitted by road traffic and energy industries, significantly affects respiratory and cardiovascular health.
The Importance of Monitoring Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂)
NO₂ is a toxic gas resulting mainly from fossil fuel combustion. Long-term exposure to high NO₂ concentrations can lead to respiratory issues, airway inflammation, and asthma aggravation. Monitoring this pollutant is essential to understanding its impact on public health and implementing effective emission reduction policies.
