Impact of Lockdown on Air Pollutants during COVID-19 at Patna, India
Many countries shut their borders, imposed nationwide lockdown, and restricted several anthropogenic activities to arrest the spread of COVID-19. In the present study, the concentration of several air pollutants(PM10, PM2.5, NO2, NH3, SO2, CO and O3) during different phases of lockdown from monitoring stations of Patna was analyzed to assess the effect of lockdown restriction on air quality. Reduction in PM2.5, NH3, NO2, PM10 and CO concentration was observed by 59.79%, 58.2%, 49.49%, 39.57% and 24.04%, respectively during the lockdown period. National Air Quality Index(NAQI) value in the year 2020 had been observed to lower by 57.88% compared to the year 2019, during the same period. A more significant fall in the concentration of air pollutants was observed during the early phase of post-lockdown compared to the late stages of post-lockdown. The study reflects the significance of restriction on anthropogenic activities in improving air quality and provides clues for future action plans for improving air quality.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
