Abstract
A computer implemented method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for air-pollution emission source monitoring. To determine the air-pollution emission of a monitored area, location data and air pollution data are taken from sensor stations positioned along a boundary of the monitored area. The macroscale atmospheric data of a region, where the monitored area is located, is also received. A boundary pollutant distribution can be estimated based on the location data and the air pollution data. Horizontal diffusion and vertical diffusion of the monitored area can be estimated based on the boundary pollutant distribution and the macroscale atmospheric data. To determine an accurate amount of pollution contribution caused by a monitored area, a calculation based on the boundary pollutant distribution, the horizontal diffusion, and the vertical diffusion can be used.
