    Snippet: Parallel reductions in atmospheric aerosols (particulate matter (PM)) and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) accompanied the drastic measures that were adopted to limit the spread of COVID-19. The results of this preliminary study conducted in northern Egypt revealed that ambient PM(10), PM(2.5), and NO(2) levels decreased by 22.8%, 29.3%, and 25.9%, respectively, after the lockdown started on March 13, 2020. These reductions in concentrations significantly (p Ë‚ 0.01) correlated with the decrease in tran
    Document: Parallel reductions in atmospheric aerosols (particulate matter (PM)) and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) accompanied the drastic measures that were adopted to limit the spread of COVID-19. The results of this preliminary study conducted in northern Egypt revealed that ambient PM(10), PM(2.5), and NO(2) levels decreased by 22.8%, 29.3%, and 25.9%, respectively, after the lockdown started on March 13, 2020. These reductions in concentrations significantly (p Ë‚ 0.01) correlated with the decrease in transportation and industrial and other economic activities. Furthermore, PM and NO(2) concentrations radically reduced during the full lockdown on Easter, Ramadan, and Eid Al-Fitr. The findings of this study will help the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health regulators to combat COVID-19 in the world. This study is part of an ongoing research related to the current pandemic.
