The Effects of COVID-19-related Driving Restrictions on Air Quality in an Industrial City by Daulet Assanov, Aiymgul Kerimray, Birzhan Batkeyev, Zhanna Kapsalyamova

“…Using the fixed effects model, we find that restrictions have decreased the levels of CO by 21–23 percent, increased the levels of TSP by 13–21 percent, and had no significant effect on SO2 and NO2 concentrations in the city. It implies that heavy pollution in the city with SO2, NO2, TSP are mainly caused by non-transport-related sources.…”
