The use of wind fields in a land use regression model to predict air pollution concentrations for health exposure studies
Abstract
A methodology is developed to include wind flow effects in land use regression (LUR) models for predicting nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations for health exposure studies. NO2 is widely used in health studies as an indicator of traffic-generated air pollution in urban areas. Incorporation of high-resolution interpolated observed wind direction from a network of 38 weather stations in a LUR model improved NO2 concentration estimates in densely …
