Abstract

The use of satellite technology in monitoring air pollution has become increasingly important for understanding and managing environmental health. This article explores the advancements in satellite-based monitoring of air pollutants, specifically focusing on the measurements of carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and weather indices. Satellite remote sensing provides extensive spatial and temporal data, addressing the limitations of ground-based monitoring networks [1]. Recent studies show that geostationary satellites have great potential for continuous and wide-ranging monitoring of air quality. These satellites enable accurate estimation of surface concentrations of pollutants, allowing for real-time assessment and trend analysis [2]. The integration of satellite data with ground measurements improves the reliability of air quality monitoring systems [3]. The analysis also highlights the usefulness of satellite data in understanding the dynamics of air pollution, including the dispersion patterns and the impact of weather conditions on pollutant levels. The use of advanced satellite instruments, such as those on the Sentinel-5P satellite, has shown significant improvements in detecting and quantifying CO and particulate matter concentrations [4]. Overall, the application of satellite technology in air pollution monitoring not only provides valuable insights into pollutant levels but also supports the development of effective mitigation strategies and policies to protect public health [5].
