“…Although we have historical air pollution data, more work needs to be carried out to improve the knowledge and accuracy of corrosion/soiling estimation obtained with satellite data to contribute, inter alia, to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals-UN 2030 Agenda [60,61]. Data Availability Statement: Publicly available datasets were analyzed in this study.…”

When construction materials are exposed to the atmospheric environment, they are subject to deterioration, which varies according to the time period of exposure and the location. A tool named Dose–Response Functions (DRFs) has been developed to estimate this deterioration. DRFs use specific air pollutants and climatic parameters as input data. Existing DRFs in the literature use only ground-based measurements as input data. This fact constitutes a limitation for the application of this tool because it is too expensive to establish and maintain such a large network of ground-based stations for pollution monitoring. In this study, we present the development of new DRFs using only satellite data as an input named Satellite Sensed Data Dose-Response Functions (SSD-DRFs). Due to the global coverage provided by satellites, this new tool for monitoring the corrosion/soiling of materials overcomes the previous limitation because it can be applied to any area of interest. To develop SSD-DRFs, we used measurements from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) on board Aqua and OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) on Aura. According to the obtained results, SSD-DRFs were developed for the case of carbon steel, zinc, limestone and modern glass materials. SSD-DRFs are shown to produce more reliable corrosion/soiling estimates than “traditional” DRFs using ground-based data. Furthermore, research into the development of the SSD-DRFs revealed that the different corrosion mechanisms taking place on the surface of a material do not act additively with each other but rather synergistically.

“…Our approach shows that the application of Sina Weibo data can help the government monitor public concern about air pollution and related health outcomes in real time and across the country, as well as enable scientists to survey public response to fluctuations in air pollutant concentrations. This approach of monitoring public concern about air pollution can potentially contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals-UN 2030 agenda [ 62 ] since it can indicate how socioeconomic factors affect the perception of air pollution and can thus be useful in proposing measures that can make cities and human settlements sustainable. Moreover, the results showed that the government should pay more attention to the public’s mental health when the concentrations of air pollutants, especially PM 2.5 , increases.…”

To understand the temporal variation, spatial distribution and factors influencing the public’s sensitivity to air pollution in China, this study collected air pollution data from 2210 air pollution monitoring sites from around China and used keyword-based filtering to identify individual messages related to air pollution and health on Sina Weibo during 2017–2021. By analyzing correlations between concentrations of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2, O3 and SO2) and related microblogs (air-pollution-related and health-related), it was found that the public is most sensitive to changes in PM2.5 concentration from the perspectives of both China as a whole and individual provinces. Correlations between air pollution and related microblogs were also stronger when and where air quality was worse, and they were also affected by socioeconomic factors such as population, economic conditions and education. Based on the results of these correlation analyses, scientists can survey public concern about air pollution and related health outcomes on social media in real time across the country and the government can formulate air quality management measures that are aligned to public sensitivities.

“…This review helps to understand the nature, source, and impact of BTEX in urban ambient air of India which will help to control and mitigate their adverse effects. Control of BTEX will augment India's effort to minimize impact on human health and combat climate change to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals towards healthy human life and minimizing climate change impact in sustainable cities of the near future (Huang et al, 2021;Varotsos & Cracknell, 2020;Shikwambana & Kganyago, 2020).…”

reported studies, the order of occurrence of BTEX compounds was toluene > benzene > xylene isomers > ethylbenzene and winter had higher concentrations than in other seasons, including summer. As far as BTEX levels in classified areas of urban environments are concerned, traffic locations have shown the highest BTEX concentrations, followed by residential, commercial, and industrial locations. OFP indicated that xylene isomers and toluene contributed to ozone formation. The major gaps in reported studies on BTEX measurement are (1) source apportionment;(2) impact on lower tropospheric chemistry, human health, and climate change; and (3) removal techniques from air.
