Reducing carbon pollutants would reduce both climate change and COVID-19 risks; luckily, due to the coronavirus crisis, many regions have seen air pollution decline. (However, the forms of air emissions which constitute significant threats to COVID-19 are still not clear.). CREA announced that quarantines and travel bans, culminated in a 25% decrease in carbon emissions in China. China emitted approximately 200 million less metric tons of carbon dioxide during the first month of the quarantine (because of reduced air traffic, oil production and coal consumption). In addition, The European Space Agency reported a reduction in n2o emissions from vehicles , power plants and manufacturers in northern Italy. Air pollution is a major problem, but now it is reducing. To maintain this we can follow these steps
Chlorinated plastic can discharge destructive synthetic compounds into the encompassing soil, which would then be able to saturate groundwater or other encompassing water sources and furthermore the biological system of the world. In Venice, the water in the canals cleared and experienced greater water flow and visibility of fish. The Venice mayor's office clarified that the increase in water clarity was due to the settling of sediment that is disturbed by boat traffic and mentioned the decrease in air pollution along the waterways. This can make genuine damage the species that drink the water. As a consequence of the widespread usage of synthetic face masks and plastic gloves, a considerable portion of these have been deposited in water bodies, contributing to the plastic waste burden we were trying to stop. To reduce plastic pollution
We may use reusable masks that we can make using clean socks or by sewing cloth or fabric. In which we rinse them properly, at home. Exceptions can be made for disposable masks if they were absolutely required in public spaces due to the lack of one's reusable mask.
Common causes of wildfires include lightning, human carelessness, volcano eruption, etc. Heat waves, droughts, and cyclical climate changes can also have a dramatic effect on the risk of wildfires. Planning for prescribed burns is always challenging yet it is particularly so in 2020. Many fire organizations are pushing forward with these activities, yet with the additional weight of social distancing and expanded regard for dealing with the smoke that could intensify the states of individuals with Covid-19. Others are holding off. These are the steps we should follow to help control wild fires during this pandemic
We have noticed a lot of improvements that happened lately in the air quality because of quartine. We hoped that these developments will continue occurring after quartine. (unfortunately, there were other loses in other aspects such as wildfires and the increase of plastic pollution in water. It would be preferred because people changed willingly instead of being forced (by quarantine).
Our approach to developing this project is by properly researching our topics through trustworthy websites (organized by NASA, ISRO, ESA, SpaceX, etc.)
