Air Pollution Decrease in India During COVID-19 Lockdown Not as High as Originally Thought

11.17.2021 05:22 AM

York University researchers find meteorology played an important and unaccounted role. Observational data shows air pollution in India decreased drastically in the first COVID-19 lockdown when emissions from vehicles naturally declined, but York University researchers say those numbers only tell part of the story - blue skies and an absence of visible smog can be deceiving and hide pollutants that could potentially cause health issues.
