In March of 2020, New York became the epicenter of the US COVID-19 outbreak. Lockdown measures were put in place on a state and city level in order to slow the spread of the virus. During this lockdown period, New York observed a 25% reduction in fine particle pollution (PM2.5) as...
Whilst this a vital part of the upper atmosphere, on ground level it can prove to have very negative health effects, hence why it is counted amongst the several pollutants that go into calculating the AQI, or air quality index. Did COVID-19 affect air pollution in the USA? Even though ...
Shortly after, the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in the United States. The emergence of this virus led many United States governors to enact executive orders in an effort to limit the person-to-person spread of the virus. One state that utilized such measures was New York, which ...
The significant role of transport in raising higher levels of air pollution in the UK was reflected inhow air quality was affected during covid-19in 2020. During the early days of the country’s ‘lockdown’, air pollution was found to decrease significantly compared to the previous year, co...
Air quality index is use to identify how polluted the current air is and measures the level of pollution in air. Increasing AQI always been a matter of worry because of rapid increase in traffic, urbanization and pollutants. This paper aims to predict AQI of Delhi region during COVID-19 ...

Climate policies that target greenhouse gas emissions can improve air quality by reducing co-emitted air pollutant emissions. However, the extent to which climate policy could contribute to the targets of reducing existing pollution disparities across di
city Delhi was excluded from the study, which was examined as the centroid of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in India, whereas there were very less to considerable variations when the state Maharashtra was excluded from the data set, which had the highest number of daily reported COVID-19-infected ...
Regarding the policy impacts of this large-scale experiment, our results indicate that reduction of traffic volume during the pandemic was effective in improving air quality in regions where traffic is the main pollution source, such as in New York City and FL, while was not effective in ...
lockdown measures to contain the COVID-19 virus outbreak, in early 2020, the concentrations and emissions of trace gases and aerosols in China changed substantially, which provided a sad but also unique opportunity to study the effect of a drastic change in anthropogenic emissions on air quality...
