Literature review on health benefits due to good quality of air during lockdown
Keywords:
COVID, pollution, health, air qualityAbstract
The epidemic caused by COVID-19 triggered a terrible situation that spread over the whole world. Since the third week of March 2020, all forms of industrialization, including hospitality, education, the corporate world, and entertainment, are subject to restrictions as a result of this. Please provide research analyzing the effect of the lockout on habitats throughout the whole country of India or beyond. The findings not only show a reduction in potentially hazardous air pollutants such as SO2, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5, but they also show an increase in levels of O3, which in turn leads to the repair of our ozone layer, which is essential for maintaining human health. These studies demonstrate the significant consequences of air quality affects across 46 cities located across the whole country of India.
