Spatiotemporal assessment of urban PM₁₀ and population exposure using integrated satellite, meteorological, and socio-spatial data
Introduction The pollution with particulate matter is a major risk factor for population health, especially in urban environments, where the interaction between anthropogenic sources, meteorological conditions and built environment characteristics generates complex spatial patterns of exposure. In this context, the present study aims to estimate the spatial distribution of PM₁₀ concentrations and assess population exposure in a medium-sized city in Romania by integrating satellite data, in situ measurements and soc …
