Analysis of Air Quality during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Naples (Italy) by Alessia Sannino, Mariagrazia D’Emilio, Pasquale Castellano, Salvatore Amoruso, Antonella Boselli

“…The comparison of the levels of various gaseous pollutants (C6H6, CO, NO2 and SO2) and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, PM1) at ground level as well as of atmospheric aerosol properties registered by remote sensing techniques during the lockdown period with the values observed in the earlier months and during the same period of the previous year is used to gain interesting information on the environmental impact of the human activities. Our findings show a rather significant reduction of the pollution due to NO2 (49–62%) in urban as well as in green suburban area, while CO and SO2 showed a more important reduction in urban or industrial districts of the city (50–58% and 70%, respectively). …”
