The approximate linear relationship for each region is notable, suggesting that the dependence of urban NO 2 pollution upon population follows a power law scaling with population. These regions contain two-thirds of total global anthropogenic NO x emissions. Credit: ACS, Lamsal et al. Click to enlarge. for India to 0.66

The flights will be supported by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and will aid EPA in monitoring pollutants. The fundamental challenge for satellites measuring air quality is to distinguish between pollution near the surface and pollution higher in the atmosphere. Measuring pollution from space.
