Abstract

This study bridges gaps in air pollution research by examining exposure dynamics in disadvantaged communities. Using cutting-edge machine learning and massive data processing, we produced high-resolution (100 meters) daily air pollution maps for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and ozone (O3) across California for 2012-2019. Our findings revealed opposite spatial patterns o…
