The quality of the air we breathe is critical to human health worldwide, affected by various sources of air pollution. Robust impact assessments and effective policymaking are essential to safeguard public health and combat climate change. The Sulfur Transport and Deposition Model (STEM) has been influential since its development in 1976, helping to understand and address atmospheric pollution. STEM has evolved to cover key pollutants beyond sulfur, contributing to numerous scientific studies and experiments. By continuously updating and integrating with new technologies, STEM remains relevant for air quality and climate research, informing policymaking and advocating for environmental justice.
