Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic is not finished yet, so it’s taught us a lot of lessons already-the hard way. The current situation is dominated by studies on identifying the factors that impact, taking preventive steps and trying to find successful care at the top of the list. Countries around the globe have made some arrangement of lockdown in order to slow down their infection. However this lockdown makes some positive effect on air quality and substantial reduction in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution worldwide. Luckily, NASA collected the images over Sentinel-5p satellite broadcasting using TROPOMI (TROPPspheric Monitoring Instrument) and issues the various images of major city of Pakistan before and after lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic and its influence on the Pakistan air pollution.
