The paper analyzes the trends in the average monthly concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in the period from 2005 to 2021 in 18 large cities in different geographical areas: Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Kyiv, Donetsk, Helsinki, Warsaw, Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, London, and Amsterdam. It was found that in all cities the concentration of this gas decreases, but at different rates. The highest rate of change was recorded in cities with the highest gas content at the time of the initial stage — 2005. A linear dependence of the average nitrogen dioxide concentration on the population and anthropogenic emissions was revealed according to HTAPv3 data. Approximately every million of the population of large cities is responsible for the formation of a gas concentration of ~200×1015 molecules/cm2, regardless of the geographical location of the city. Every ~10,000 tons/month of nitrogen dioxide emissions based on HTAPv3 generate gas concentrations of ~500•1015 molecules/cm2. Using these dependencies, it is possible to estimate anthropogenic emissions of NO2 sources throughout the country, based on remote sensing data. The results of the study also indicate the possibility of verifying and correcting inventory databases of gas emissions based on satellite observations of the nitrogen dioxide content in the atmosphere.
Keywords: nitrogen dioxide, satellite sensing, OMI, TROPOMI, population, large cities
