Global High Air Pollutants(GHAP) PM2.5 Concentrations (2017-2022)

This dataset is the first big data-derived gapless (100% spatial coverage) daily, monthly, and annual PM2.5 concentration product at 1km resolution (D1K, M1K, and Y1K) for global land areas from 2017 to 2022 and part of Global High Air Pollutants Dataset (GHAP). Leveraging machine learning and big data techniques, the dataset provides unprecedented insights into the spatiotemporal variability of PM2.5 pollution. In particular, it reveals extensive exposure to unhealthy air globally, identifies disparities in exposure between developed/developing countries, urban/rural areas, and within cities, captures the impact of events like COVID-19 lockdowns on air quality, and provides insights into nature-induced pollution episodes (e.g., biomass burning). The dataset boasts high quality, with a cross-validation coefficient of determination (CV-R2) of 0.91 and a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 9.20 µg m-3 on the daily basis.

Data Coverage: Variables: Scaling factor
Temporal: Daily data from 2017 to 2022 PM2.5 concentration (μg/m³) 0.1
Spatial: Global coverage (land areas)
