High-resolution Nitrogen Dioxide Maps Reveal Exposure Limit Breaches across Europe

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a common air pollutant, released into the atmosphere through the incomplete burning of fossil fuels, and associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in humans. Ambient NO2 concentrations are regulated through air-quality limits assessed with a sparse network of fixed monitors. The revised EU Ambient Air Quality Directive (2024/2881) introduces a daily NO2 limit to be met from 2030. At present, neither the regulatory monitoring network nor existing coarse, annual-mean models can resolve NO2 concentrations at the spatio-temporal resolutions necessary to asse
