Study Reveals Drivers Behind Regional Disparities in Ozone Responses to Covid-19 Lockdown

The outbreak of COVID-19 raised a question about the relationship between anthropogenic emissions and air pollution, which has aroused heated discussion. Research on air-quality changes caused by the lockdowns in different areas shows similar substantial reductions in primary emissions. However, regional disparities exist in responses of secondary pollutants to emissions reduction, especially fine particulate matter and ozone (O3).

Restoring Degraded Land in Spain for a Better Future

Land Life Company’s current planting season in Spain will wrap up in April of this year. At which point, the tech-driven reforestation company will have planted 980,200 trees, bringing their overall total of trees in Spain to just over 1.6 million on 1,750 hectares – that is the size of about 2,451 soccer fields and will capture an estimated 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide overtime.
