A novel causality-centrality-based method for the analysis of the impacts of air pollutants on PM2.5 concentrations in China
Abstract In this paper, we analyzed the spatial and temporal causality and graph-based centrality relationship between air pollutants and PM2.5 concentrations in China from 2013 to 2017. NO2, SO2, CO and O3 were considered the main components of pollution that affected the health of people; thus, va...
