The article "COVID-19 pandemic and environmental pollution: A blessing in disguise?" by Sulaman Muhammad, Xingle Long, and Muhammad Salman, published in the School of Management at Jiangsu University, examines the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on environmental pollution. The study highlights that while the pandemic has led to significant economic and social disruptions, it has also resulted in a notable reduction in air pollution, particularly in cities like Wuhan, Italy, Spain, and the USA. NASA and ESA data show that NO₂ emissions have decreased by up to 30% in these regions due to reduced industrial activities and transportation. The authors suggest that this positive environmental impact should be recognized and used as a learning opportunity for long-term pollution reduction strategies. The study concludes that the pandemic, despite its severe health and economic consequences, has had a beneficial effect on the environment, which can serve as a "blessing in disguise."The article "COVID-19 pandemic and environmental pollution: A blessing in disguise?" by Sulaman Muhammad, Xingle Long, and Muhammad Salman, published in the School of Management at Jiangsu University, examines the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on environmental pollution.
