the reason that air pollution happens is because when solid and liquid particles called aerosol and certain gases end up in our air. These particles and gases can be bad for the planet and for our health, so keeping track of them is important.

There are many ways air quality can be improved in the home. ... Reducing energy consumption helps reduce air pollution. If less gasoline, natural gas and electricity (power plants burn fossil fuels to generate electricity) are used, not only do your bills decrease but less pollutants are emitted.

Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

June 1, 2020

Over the past several weeks, the United States has seen significant reductions in air pollution over its major metropolitan areas. Similar reductions in air pollution have been observed in other regions of the world. These recent improvements in air quality have come at a high cost, as communities grapple with widespread lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders as a result of the spread of COVID-19.

One air pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO ₂), is primarily emitted from burning fossil fuels (diesel, gasoline, coal), coming out of our tailpipes when driving cars and smokestacks when generating electricity. Therefore, changes in NO ₂ levels can be used as an indicator of changes in human activity.

This animation shows the change in atmospheric (NO ₂) levels as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns.
