A research team from the University of Houston has developed a cutting-edge approach to tackling air pollution in Houston, one of the most ozone-polluted cities in the United States. By integrating machine learning with innovative analysis techniques, the team was able to accurately pinpoint the sources of air pollution in the city. The study revealed that Houston's oil and gas industry had the highest impact on emissions in industrial areas, while shortwave radiation and relative humidity were the most important factors influencing overall ozone concentration. The researchers hope that their findings will help develop targeted strategies to reduce emissions and improve air quality in Houston and other cities. [Extracted from the article]
