The lock-down effects of COVID-19 on the air pollution indices in Iran and its neighbors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The COVID-19 restrictions have a lot of various peripheral negative and positive effects, like economic shocks and decreasing air pollution, respectively. Many studies showed NO2 reduction in most parts of the world.

Methods

Iran and its land and maritime neighbors have about 7.4% of the world population and 6.3% and 5.8% of World COVID-19 cases and deaths, respectively. The air pollution indices of them such as CH₄ (Methane), CO_1 (CO), H₂O (Water), HCHO (Tropospheric Atmospheric Formaldehyde), NO₂ (Nitrogen oxides), O₃ (ozone), SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide), UVAI_AAI [UV Aerosol Index (UVAI)/Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI)] are studied from the First quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021 with Copernicus Senti
