Abstract: An analysis of the global network of an air quality metric is presented using data procured from various urban centers. By leveraging advanced network analysis techniques, a novel framework is proposed to decipher the intricate dynamics of a pollutant across various locations. Distinctly rooted in graph theory, the approach deviates from traditional autoregressive models by integrating a simultaneous transmission component. This integration enables a more holistic understanding of the pollutant interactions across different sites. Empirical findings provide insight into the complex global network of the pollutant, identifying key points and clarifying its linkages.
