Mobility restrictions and confinement measures implemented across the world are considered to help reduce air pollution. However, empirical examination of the link between public mobility changes and air pollution during the COVID-19 period remains unavailable. This paper examines the short and long run...
The COVID-19 has caused global disruption as well as climate change. Air quality has improved in many cities because of the reduction in water pollution, which was achieved because of movement restrictions and slowdowns in social and economic activities. Additional concerns include the use of pers...
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...
nevertheless, it is not clear the role of air pollution and meteorological conditions on virus transmission. In this study, we quantitatively assessed how the meteorological and air quality parameters are correlated to the COVID-19 transmission in two large metropolitan areas in Northern Italy as ...
This study used spaceand ground-based sensors in conjunction meteorological and traffic information to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 containment measures on air pollution in California by comparing data from March–April 2020 to the similar period in 2019. Although significantly lower pollution ...
Air-pollution-COVID-19-impact ID:(ATM922) Bachelor's Thesis in Physics Study the COVID 19 pandemic impact on Atmospheric pollution in selected areas of Athens (Greece). Department of Physics NKUA The nationwide lockdown in Greece to flatten the pandemic COVID-19 curve has resulted in the ...
We studied the relative risk of COVID-19 due to weather and ambient air pollution. We estimated the daily reproduction number at 3,739 global locations, controlling for the delay between infection and detection, associating those with local weather conditions and ambient air pollution. Controlling ...
Concentrations of air quality parameters such as PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO during the transition to lockdown and the actual lockdown period were compared with business as usual periods (a period prior to COVID19 lockdown and a corresponding period in 2019) to estimate the reduction in ...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and following lockdown for control and prevention of the infectious disease severely influenced social activities, leading to impacts on air, water, and soil pollutions. The in-depth analysis of the impacts is required to understand air pollution in such an extreme ...
