Assessment of environmental consequences of hostilities: Tropospheric NO2 vertical column amounts in the atmosphere over Ukraine in 2019–2022
Journal: Atmospheric Environment
Year: 2023

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia started on 24 February 2022. The armed conflict has been accompanied by atmospheric and soil pollution, deterioration of fresh water, and the creation of irreversible changes in ecosystems. This study focuses on the effects of hostilities on tropospheric pollution. It comprises an analysis of the spatiotemporal tropospheric NO2 distribution over Ukraine for the period 24 February–06 May 2022 from the TROPOMI satellite instrument. We compared the tropospheric col
