Exploring Ground-Level Ozone Distribution Across Different Land Covers in the Veneto Region, Italy
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: . This study investigates ground-level ozone (O3) distribution across different land cover classes in Veneto, Italy, from 2019 to 2022. Analysis revealed high correlations between O3 and its precursors, such as temperature and solar radiation, across various land covers. Cropland areas exhibited the lowest O3 levels, while built-up areas had the highest. Seasonal variations showed distinct patterns, with higher O3 concentrations in built-up areas during warmer months and lower concentrations in tree cover areas. The findings underscore the importance of land cover characteristics in pollution management strategies.
