Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide is a gas that can be found in our Atmosphere and its presence is mainly due to the burning of fossils fuels and biomass (e.g forest or bushfires) and human activities in general. It is considered a pollutant species of the atmosphere and in this respect the carbon monoxide distribution is an index

Aerosols
In the frame of air quality monitoring the Copernicus Sentinel-5p mission has been designed to identify the concentration of several atmospheric compounds and species in our atmosphere: one of those data is the Ultraviolet Aerosol Indexes (UVAI). Aerosols are a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets, in air or another gas, and can

Nitrogen Dioxide Pollution
Nitrogen Dioxide is one of the atmospheric gas species retrieved from the data acquired by Sentinel-5P multispectral imaging spectrometer: TROPOMI. Sentinel-5P is the umpteenth spacecraft belonging the the Sentinels constellations and conceived in the framework of the Copernicus Programme. The main goal of this mission is to perform atmospheric measurements with high spatio-temporal resolution, to be used
