The NO2 land-use regression model estimate data includes national-scale estimates of NO2 in the United States. It provides predictions for annual average NO2 concentrations (ppb) using the land-use regression models.

In order to predict NO2 estimates at the national level, the following input data were used;  Fixed-site regulatory monitors, Satellite-derived NO2 estimates and GIS-derived land-use data.
