How does environmental pollution reduce due to Coronavirus

The satellite images taken by NASA show that China's environmental pollution levels are greatly reduced and NASA said that it was partially caused by the economic downturn due to Coronavirus. NASA maps show how nitrogen dioxide levels have fallen this year. China's factories' production has been halted following the spread of the virus. However, pollution is reducing due to the decline in the activity in China's factories, Since the outbreak of the virus, nearly 80,000 patients have been reported in China.

It has spread to more than 50 countries, but the majority of infections and deaths are reported in China, where the virus first surfaced late last year. The reduction in nitrogen dioxide levels, a harmful gas emitted by cars and factories, was first observed in the city of Wuhan, where the virus had spread. NASA has compared the first two months of 2019 and the same period this year.

Air pollution levels have fallen due to transport and business restrictions and the quarantine of millions of people. NASA observes that China's New Year's Eve season is generally marked by a decrease in pollution levels in late January and early February. But once the festive season is over, the agency said it will increase. The rate of decline has been significantly higher this year than last year, and it lasts a long time. However, there is nothing to be surprised by this because many cities across the country have taken steps to reduce the spread of the virus.
