Environment : Positive effects of coronavirus

Environment : Positive effects of coronavirus

As coronavirus continues to spread around the world, many countries have taken the decision to confine their populations. China was one of the first to implement this measure. Environment : Positive effects of coronavirus : Quickly, positive effects have been seen on the environment.

Transparent water in Venice's famous canals ?

Since Italy is quarantined because of coronavirus, thousands of tourists have disappeared. In normal times, they invade the canals. Now, motorboats no longer travel. As a cause, a sharp reduction in pollution, as evidenced by the return of fish to the canals. On the other hand, in the port of Cagliari, in Sardinia, a dolphin was even seen near the edge.

Reducing air pollution

These clean waters are just one example of the impact of coronavirus on the environment. Indeed, in many cities around the world, the streets have emptied of their cars and their passers-by, factories have closed, many flights have been cancelled... Result : a significant reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions.

Satellite images of China show the reduction in these emissions, since the quarantine of Wuhan and Hubei Province. And Europe, scientists have seen the same effect in northern Italy. “The drop in carbon dioxide emissions over the Po Plain in northern Italy is particularly evident. We are confident that this reduction […] coincides with containment”, commented Claus Zehner, European Space Agency.

Similarly, in the United States, Columbia University scientists reported a reduction in the number of 5 to 10 % CO2 emissions in New York, the week of 16 March. And car traffic has fallen by 35 % compared to the previous year.

But the unintended environmental impacts of the pandemic could be short-lived. China has begun to reopen factories, particularly in Hubei province. For the fifth day in a row, China has not registered any new cases of locally occurring coronavirus contamination.
