The study analyses and interprets data on air pollution obtained from the satellite images of the European Space Agency, and the causes of three major pollutants – nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, and suggests recommendations for improving the air quality.

Far from good. New study examines Georgia's air pollution from space observations
