With the spread of the Corona virus epidemic, some countries decided to quarantine. In many countries, events are delayed, public spaces are closed, and people are careful not to leave their homes. However, the researchers recorded significant improvements in air quality levels following the outbreak. “We are going through very interesting times. What we are most surprised by is that the measures we take against the corona virus are much more severe than the measures we take against climate change or atmospheric pollution,” said François Gemenne, director of the environmental research center Hugo Observatory. said.

Recent data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite revealed that nitrogen dioxide levels dropped significantly during quarantine applications in Italy. A gas produced by the use of nitrogen dioxide vehicle traffic and fossil fuels. “Although there are small differences in data due to cloud cover and changing weather conditions, we are confident that the reduction in emissions is directly proportional to the decrease in traffic and industrial activities due to quarantine in Italy,” said Josef Aschbacher of ESA. said. NASA and ESA announced that a similar situation was observed in China between January 1, 2020 and February 25, 2020. The drop in air pollution in China saved the lives of 73,000 people over the age of 70 and 4,000 children under the age of 5 in the country. According to the World Health Organization, about 91% of the world’s population lives in areas where air quality levels exceed acceptable limits. According to the statistics of 2016, air pollution causes an estimated 4.2 million deaths annually.
