Environmentalists say that although the global outbreak of the novel corona virus is affecting the world economy and millions of small factories are closed, global air pollution is also seeing a dramatic decline.
Last week, Stanford University’s Marshall Burke reported via groundwater images obtained from artificial satellites that China’s atmosphere had seen a remarkable reduction in harmful nitrogen dioxide gas emissions.
Mr Burke added, If this reduction is seen from the point of view of health benefits, it means that in the last two months 4000 children under the age of five and people more than 70 years, due to air pollution reduction in China. The lives of 73,000 elderly people are saved. “The savings are far greater than the mortal damage that has been inflicted from the corona virus worldwide.
Following the Burke, now European Space Agency experts have also compared air pollution before and after quarantine in Italy. For this purpose, they used groundwater photographs, taken from “Copernicus Sentinel 5P satellite”.
They also revealed that the closure of industrial activities, cars, trucks and power plants from the Corona virus has had a very positive impact on the environment as well as the amount of nitrogen dioxide gas in the atmosphere, has decreased.
A short video has also been released by the European Space Agency about this: Click to watch video here
Watching this video, it can be inferred that the global outbreak of the Corona virus in environmental terms is proving to be a “mercy in disgrace” as environmentalists have proved that air pollution is the largest killer in the world at present. As a result, the average age of people in some places has also decreased by three years

Do you agree with this theory research of Mr Burke ?

Yes

No

Every thing has its good and bad sides. I believe the atmosphere has improved. many factors “stopped”.
Yeah , I agree with you , there is two different aspect of everything
This is also noticeable to the naked eye. She’s gone in the air in the morning. But everything will then recover very quickly.
you have indeed raised very qood question in my mind
We will see what the outcome will be.
Yeah , may be in next two month
I agree with the study. Pollution is one of the major causes of the ill health we experience.
Yes , Pollution is the root causes of ill health
I was thinking on these lines. Yes there are many plus points.
Yes there is always two different direction of everything
the reality of the reduction is very interesting. How long will, of course, be the telling tale.
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Yeah , this research speak a lot and also giving a direction as well
but post virus how quickly does it go back up….
Lets see what is happening next . there is reports that says it will end in July in high temperature
China is stabilizing now, i suspect July is a hopeful goal!
Yes In China, Corona is almost over there , There was Guard of Honor for the Doctor who perform their duties during the operation against Corona in Wuhan City.
I totally agree with him …. now I don’t remember where I read or listened to on the radio that 3000 people died a day on very critical days due to air pollution in China … sounds strange only then those 3000 victims who are they are not worth mentioning because of the virus …. but the air seems to have cleared up a lot
Yeah , you heard very correct , even I have also read this somewhere an year ago.
I hope that this will have some effects that are more long lasting, but as soon as all the cars are back on the road we will have the pollution again.
Yeah , you said very correct. Thank you
