Taking a Wider View of NO2 Pollution: Estimating NO2’s Health Impacts from Local to Global Scales

Current studies assessing the global burden of disease from air pollution include only premature mortality from PM2.5 and ozone. Several recent meta-analyses of epidemiological studies around the world show that traffic-related NO2 pollution is associated with pediatric asthma incidence. Professor Susan Anenberg, Dr. Dan Goldberg, and Professor Michael Brauer present approaches for estimating NO2 exposure in cities worldwide using satellite remote sensing, as well as recent and ongoing research estimating the global burden of NO2 pollution on pediatric asthma incidence.
