Scientists from NASA discussed how satellite monitoring of air quality can improve respiratory health globally. They download 25 terabytes of data daily, providing information on land and sea temperatures, precipitation, fires, aerosols, and more. NASA’s Earth Action Program aims to use this data to benefit the economy, health, and environment. NASA’s TEMPO satellite scans the Northern Hemisphere continuously to monitor pollution levels, helping over 100 air quality agencies. Other initiatives include FireAQ for fire-related air quality concerns and collaborations to address air quality disparities. NASA data is freely available, and ongoing efforts are made to improve air quality standards and public health.
