Investigating PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution patterns in South Africa using space-time analysis
Tabaro H. Kabanda
Abstract:<abstract>
<p>The global concentration of fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) is experiencing an upward trend. This study investigates the utilization of space-time cubes to visualize and interpret PM<sub>2.5</sub> data in South Africa over multiple temporal intervals spanning from 1998 to 2022. The findings indicated that the mean PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations in Gauteng Province were the highest, with a value of 53 μg/m<sup>3</sup> in 2010… Show more
