The impacts of COVID-19, meteorology, and emission control | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of COVID-19-related emission reductions, meteorological conditions, and emission control policies on PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations in Northeast Asia. Using air quality modeling and observations from 2016-2020, the study quantifies the individual contributions of these factors. Results show that the impact of anthropogenic emission reductions due to COVID-19 was greater than that of meteorology or emission policies, particularly in February-March 2020.
