Urban air pollution disproportionately harms communities of color and low-income communities in the U.S. Intraurban nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) inequalities can be observed from space using the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI). Past research has relied on time-averaged measurements, limiting our understanding of how neighborhood-level NO 2 inequalities co-vary with urban air quality and climate. Here, we use fine-scale (250 m × 250 m) airborne NO 2 remote sensing to demonstrate that daily TROPOMI observations resolve a major portion of census tract-scale NO 2 inequalities in the New York City−Newark urbanized area. Spatiotemporally coincident TRO-POMI and airborne inequalities are well correlated (r = 0.82−0.97), with slopes of 0.82−1.05 for relative and 0.76−0.96 for absolute inequalities for different groups. We calculate daily TROPOMI NO 2 inequalities over May 2018−September 2021, reporting disparities of 25−38% with race, ethnicity, and/or household income. Mean daily inequalities agree with results based on TROPOMI measurements oversampled to 0.01°× 0.01°to within associated uncertainties. Individual and mean daily TROPOMI NO 2 inequalities are largely insensitive to pixel size, at least when pixels are smaller than ∼60 km 2 , but are sensitive to low observational coverage. We statistically analyze daily NO 2 inequalities, presenting empirical evidence of the systematic overburdening of communities of color and low-income neighborhoods with polluting sources, regulatory ozone co-benefits, and worsened NO 2 inequalities and cumulative NO 2 and urban heat burdens with climate change.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
