| Abstract |
Air pollution in urban areas has increased exponentially in recent years, causing cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and oncology diseases, reducing the quality of life of citizens. Since the vegetation, fauna, water, and soil together with the services they support are directly affected, the air quality becomes a primary challenge for cities. This work shows the tendencies of the air pollution levels for two cities, namely the city of Sofia, Bulgaria and the city of Guadalajara, México. We performed a first correlation analysis in order to find emission patterns and display similar characteristics in both cities as well as to cooperate in jointly strategies to improve the air quality. © 2019 IEEE. |
