Assessing NO2 Concentration and Model Uncertainty with High Spatiotemporal Resolution across the Contiguous United States Using Ensemble Model Averaging
Open accessAbstract
NO 2 is a combustion byproduct that has been associated with multiple adverse health outcomes. To assess NO 2 levels with high accuracy, we propose the use of an ensemble model to integrate multiple machine learning algorithms, including neural network, random forest, and gradient boosting, with a variety of predictor variables, including chemical transport models. This NO 2 model covers the entire contiguous U.S. with daily predictions on 1-km-level grid cells from 2000 to 2016. The ensemble produced a cross-validated R 2 of 0.788 overall, a spatial R 2 of 0.844, and a temporal R 2 of 0.729. The relationship between daily monitored and predicted NO 2 is almost linear. We also estimated the associated monthly uncertainty level for the predictions and address-specific NO 2 levels. This NO 2 estimation has a very high spatiotemporal resolution and allows the examination of the health effects of NO 2 in unmonitored areas. We found the highest NO 2 levels along highways and in cities. We also observed that nationwide NO 2 levels declined in early years and stagnated after 2007, in contrast to the trend at monitoring sites in urban areas, where the decline continued. Our research indicates that the integration of different predictor variables and fitting algorithms can achieve an improved air pollution modeling framework.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
