Advancing air pollution exposure assessment model: challenges and future perspectives

Abstract

In recent years, air pollution exposure assessment models have experienced significant advancements, particularly in integrating advanced technologies. However, the intrinsic deficiency of the geostatistical model in existing studies restricted further development of the air pollution exposure model. In this perspective, we summarized several emerging technologies that can overcome the limitations and estimate air pollution exposures with high spatial and temporal resolutions. As these technologies evolve, they are expected to play an increasingly significant role in improving public health and managing environmental challenges.
