Conclusion
Based on prior data, collected data. It can be inferred that the lockdown helped the air pollution both at ground level and in the atmosphere
Start of the paper
Significance
Lockdown reduced population-weighted NO2 and particulate matter levels
Abstract
Covid-19 caused a world wide lockdown
Due to the lockdown, emittions caused by vehicles drastically droppe
Satellites kept track of traffic patterns across the world, which will help determine the cause and effect
Excess fine particulate matter and ozone related deaths in developing countries is estimated at over 8.8 million
Major causes of pollution
Power generation, industry, traffic, residential energy use
Body
Discussion
General Air Pollution changes
Ground and atmosphere readings decreased
Results
Overall, the general concensus is that air pollution dropped
Materials & Methods
Ground Data
Took readings of baseline reading of the ground prior to the lockdown
Took readings during lock down periodically
Took readings after lock down
Satellite Data
Took readings of baseline reading of atmophere prior to the lock down
Took readings after lock down
