A multi-step machine learning approach to assess the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on NO2 attributable deaths in Milan and Rome, Italy

Luca Boniardi et al.

Summary: The study shows that the COVID-19 lockdown measures had a positive impact on air quality and human health in the two largest Italian cities. However, compliance with the current EU legal limit for NO2 is not enough to prevent a high number of NO2-related deaths. This highlights the need for more ambitious traffic calming policies and a re-evaluation of the legal annual limit value for NO2.

Global fine-scale changes in ambient NO2 during COVID-19 lockdowns

Matthew J. Cooper et al.

Summary: Using satellite observations of NO2 column densities, we derived spatially resolved ground-level NO2 concentrations globally and compared them between cities during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2019. The study found that strict lockdown conditions were associated with a 29% ± 3% decrease in average country-level population-weighted NO2 concentrations compared to countries without lockdowns. The decrease in NO2 during COVID-19 lockdowns exceeded year-to-year decreases from emission controls and was comparable to reductions equivalent to 15 ± 4 years globally.

Disentangling drivers of air pollutant and health risk changes during the COVID-19 lockdown in China

Fuzhen Shen et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 have significantly impacted the NO2 and O-3 concentrations in China. This study analyzes the different factors influencing these changes and evaluates the contribution of meteorological conditions. The results show reductions in NO2 concentrations due to the Chinese New Year, COVID-lockdown measures, and the Clean Air Plan, while meteorology led to an increase. Conversely, O-3 concentrations increased during these periods. Overall, these drivers have resulted in a drastic reduction in multi-air pollutant-related health risks in China.

Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and serum liver enzymes in older adults: A population-based longitudinal study

Yingxin Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and serum liver enzyme levels in older adults. The results showed a significant correlation between air pollution exposure and increased levels of liver enzymes, indicating that air pollution may induce hepatocellular injury.

Impact of Short-Term Emission Control Measures on Air Quality in Nanjing During the Jiangsu Development Summit

Haoran Zhang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effectiveness of temporary emission control measures on air quality in Nanjing, China during the Jiangsu Development Summit. The measures significantly reduced air pollutant emissions and concentrations of pollutants such as PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, and VOCs, while increasing O-3 concentrations. The findings offer insights for future mitigation actions.

Quantifying the Impact of the Covid-19 Lockdown Measures on Nitrogen Dioxide Levels throughout Europe

Sverre Solberg et al.

Summary: This paper analyzed the impact of lockdown measures on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Europe using a statistical model approach based on a generalised additive model (GAM). Significant differences between countries were identified, with the largest reductions in NO2 observed in Spain, France, Italy, Great Britain, and Portugal. The model performed best for urban and suburban sites.

Quantitative estimation of meteorological impacts and the COVID-19 lockdown reductions on NO2 and PM2.5 over the Beijing area using Generalized Additive Models (GAM)

Jinxi Hua et al.

Summary: The unprecedented travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to significant reductions in anthropogenic emissions, but extreme haze pollution was still experienced in the Beijing area despite strict COVID19 controls. Generalized Additive Models (GAM) were developed to differentiate the lockdown effects and meteorology impacts on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matters (PM2.5) concentrations at 34 sites in Beijing. The results showed that while lockdown measures caused large reductions, meteorology offset a substantial part of the decrease in surface concentrations.

Atmospheric NO2 Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors in Yangtze River Economic Belt: Analysis of the NO2 Product of TROPOMI/Sentinel-5P

Xian Liu et al.

Summary: The research found that NO2 levels in the Yangtze River Economic Belt are high in winter and autumn, low in spring and summer, and exhibit significant spatial clustering, with the northeast having higher levels than the southwest. Surface pressure was identified as a core driving factor, and the explanatory power of various factors varied regionally and seasonally. Interactions between different factors can enhance the explanatory power of individual factors for NO2 levels.

Estimating lockdown-induced European NO2 changes using satellite and surface observations and air quality models

Jerome Barre et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively assesses the changes in NO2 concentrations across major European urban areas during COVID-19 lockdowns using satellite retrievals, surface site measurements, and air quality models. The findings show similar NO2 reductions in locations with stricter lockdown measures compared to those with softer measures. Different estimation methods yield similar results, highlighting the importance of vertical sampling and horizontal representativeness.
