Press release 'Lockdown 2020 and air pollution in the Rome area'
A study by the Sapienza University and the CNR-IIA, in collaboration with the University of Molise and ARPA Lazio, analyzes the relationship between the first lockdown of 2020 and the decrease in air pollution from suspended dust. A lower presence of elemental carbon is detected in PM10, following the decrease in vehicular traffic during the lockdown, compared to a poor decrease in the mass of PM10, due to the influx of dust transported from distant areas.
