In this paper, we present an initial investigation of the effect of Israel's first COVID-19 lockdown on air quality in Israel. We focus on the two regions of Haifa and Greater Tel-Aviv, which, as aforementioned, have high air pollution levels. For comparison of the COVID-19 period in...
Air quality Air pollution intervention COVID-19 NO2 PM2.5 O3 1. Introduction The first human cases of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), referred to as COVID-19, were detected in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019. The virus spread rapidly in early 2020, initi...
Some unique ones that would arise from the use of ethanol based products and fuels would be concentrations of acetaldehyde, vaporized forms of pure ethanol as well as nitrogen oxides. Others that arise from lower quality fuel use as well as the burning of organic materials would be carbon mono...
Air quality directly impacts people’s health and quality of life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, awareness of indoor air quality skyrocketed, leading to greater investments in the indoor air quality market – particularly in the US. According to BCC Research’s estimates, the US value of the...
the greater the health benefits it would bring. The health co-benefits could fully offset the carbon mitigation costs in the long-term, to 2050. However, the co-benefits of climate policies alone will not be enough to realize China’s air quality goals and prevent the growth of the PM2.5...
Ironically, by shutting down swaths of the global economy, COVID-19 has helped expose another respiratory health crisis. The ensuing lockdowns have shown the improvements to air quality that are possible when emissions are reduced on a global scale. ...
EPA Approves Chemical ‘Air Treatment’ Against COVID, Despite Known Health Hazards Georgia and Tennessee are first states to gain approval to diffuse a chemical known to trigger asthma and other serious respiratory illnesses throughout schools, healthcare and food processing facilities and intrastate ...

Although, COVID-19 pandemic had numerous negative effects on human health and the global economy, the reductions in air pollution and significant improvement in ambient air quality likely had substantial short-term health benefits. This study improves the understanding of the mechanisms that lead to ...
this is indeed an appropriate time to conduct analyses to impact and bend the curve of air pollution substantially. Additionally, as winter approaches, there is a possibility of a double burden of mortality and morbidity from worsening of both COVID-19 and air quality. The current focus on pub...
