The weekly nitrogen dioxide (NO2) cycle is entirely attributed to human activities. In automobile-centric Philadelphia, NO2 levels on Fridays surpass those on Sundays by 50%. Conversely, in the power plant-dominated Ohio River Valley, the difference is under 10%. This data from NASA's Giovanni platform provides valuable insight into NOx emission patterns, highlighting the significant impact of different sources on atmospheric NO2 levels across regions.
