EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "European Nitrogen Dioxide Emissions, 2008" offers a striking visual representation of the state of atmospheric pollution in Europe during that year. The map showcases average annual tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) measurements recorded by NASA's Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the EOS-Aura satellite. The image reveals a continent engulfed in varying shades of red and orange, indicating high levels of NO2 emissions across Europe. This alarming display highlights the significant impact of human activities on our environment and serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for action to combat climate change. As we navigate through the 21st century, this photograph underscores the crucial role technology plays in monitoring and understanding our planet's health. Satellites like EOS-Aura equipped with advanced instruments such as OMI enable scientists to gather vital data about atmospheric composition from space. By measuring NO2 concentrations emitted into Earth's atmosphere, environmental scientists can assess air quality and identify regions where pollution is most prevalent. Such information aids policymakers in implementing effective measures to reduce emissions and mitigate global warming. NASA/Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into our world from above, reminding us all of our responsibility to protect and preserve it for future generations.
