A study on variation of atmospheric pollutants over Bhubaneswar during imposition of nationwide lockdown in India for the COVID-19 pandemic

Subhasmita Panda et al.

Summary: The nationwide lockdown in India significantly reduced anthropogenic emissions, leading to improved air quality in the city of Bhubaneswar. During the lockdown, pollutants such as NOx and BC showed a substantial reduction, while CO levels decreased to a lesser extent due to natural and biogenic influences. Additionally, increased Ozone levels and changes in atmospheric chemistry were observed during the lockdown period, influenced by factors such as rain events and reduction in precursor emissions.

High rise in carbonaceous aerosols under very low anthropogenic emissions over eastern Himalaya, India: Impact of lockdown for COVID-19 outbreak

Abhijit Chatterjee et al.

Summary: The study found that during the global COVID-19 lockdown period, concentrations of organic carbon and elemental carbon in the high altitude Himalayan atmosphere significantly increased, mainly due to the rise in O-3 levels leading to increased formation of secondary organic carbon, while very low anthropogenic emissions also contributed to the organic carbon from biogenic sources.

Impact of aerosols on surface ozone during COVID-19 pandemic in southern India: A multi-instrumental approach from ground and satellite observations, and model simulations

Raja Obul Reddy Kalluri et al.

Summary: The study conducted in southern India during the COVID-19 lockdown periods revealed a significant increase in surface ozone concentrations due to reduced NOx emissions. Additionally, distinct aerosol sources and transport during the lockdown caused significant changes in aerosol optical depth.
