Air pollution

Impacts of agriculture on PM10 pollution and human health in the Lombardy region in Italy

Intensive farming can have significant implications on air pollution and public health. With [Stefania Renna](https://www.eiee.org/member/stefania-renna/), Jacopo Lunghi, Maurizio Malpede, Damiano Di Simine.

The formation of secondary inorganic aerosols: A data-driven investigation of Lombardy's secondary inorganic aerosol problem

Agriculture can be a major source of secondary inorganic particulate matter (PM). Where this is the case, even substantially large reduction in precursor emissions may not deliver large drops in secondary inorganic PM.

CLAQC V1.0 – Country Level Air Quality Calculator. An Empirical Modeling Approach

The Country Level Air Quality Calculator (CLAQC) is an open-source modeling tool that utilizes national sectoral emissions and weather data to forecast monthly and annual concentrations PM2.5 and O3 using machine learning. With [Stefania Renna](https://www.eiee.org/member/stefania-renna/), [Lara Aleluia Reis](https://laleluia.github.io/page/) and Paulina Estela Schulz-Antipa.

COVID-19 lockdown only partially alleviates health impacts of air pollution in Northern Italy

What can a lockdown tell us about air pollution? We use machine learning to causally identify the drop in PM 2.5 and NO2 in Northern Italy during the first COVID-19 lockdown, and learn about emission patterns. With [Lara Aleluis Reis](https://laleluia.github.io/page/), [Valentina Bosetti](https://faculty.unibocconi.eu/valentinabosetti/), and [Massimo Tavoni](https://sites.google.com/site/massimotavoni/).

Heterogeneous Effects of Air Pollution on Physical Tasks: Evidence from Amateur Track and Field

Although a large share of the world’s population is employed in manual labor, our understanding of the productivity costs of air pollution for physically intensive work remains limited.
