Abstract

Currently, pandemic COVID-19 spreading around the globe creates large scale lockdown and restrictions on all the commercial as well as daily livelihood activities. Due to the lockdown, the consumption and burning of fossil fuels and industrial activities lower down and emit less amount of air pollutants. So the air quality improved tremendously as compared the earlier time. This lower level of pollutants, also improve the pulmonary activity of the lungs and makes less susceptible to diseases, especially COVID-19. In many countries, the emission of oxides of nitrogen, make them vulnerable to human for COVID-19 and large scale deaths were observed mainly in Italy and Spain.
