Unravelling the fall in European nitrogen emissions in Nature Scientific Reports
(posted 5 February 2013)
We found that recent reductions of nitrogen oxide emissions in Europe reflect a combination of environmental policy and economic activity. We evaluated changes in tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations over Europe between 2004 and 2010 using observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument, and found that the reductions appear to be as much the result of temporary reductions prompted by the economic recession as of European nitrogen oxide emission controls.

Dutch OMI NO2 observations in Wall Street Journal!
(posted 25 September 2008)
Our retrievals of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument featured in the Wall Street Journal during the 2008 Olympic Games. The Wall Street Journal hosts an archive of air pollution information over China, showing a so-called air pollution index based on local ground measurements, and our Dutch OMI NO2 (DOMINO) satellite measurements that are freely available through www.temis.nl.
The above figure shows an excerpt from the WSJ archive for 6 August 2008. To visit the archive and learn more about air pollution during the 2008 Olympics, visit The Wall Street Journal.
