The analysis

Papers [2], [3], and [9] directly demonstrate the capability of Landsat data (often alongside other sensors) to retrieve aerosol optical depth or predict regional air pollutant concentrations with high accuracy. Papers [0], [1], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [10], and [11] are tangential or focus on water quality, cloud masking, general remote sensing reviews without specific air pollution emphasis, or health/exposome protocols. The evidence supporting the claim is direct, robust, and unchallenged by any refuting sources in the set.
