Abstract

The emergence of the infectious virus known as Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of 2019 not only affected the world politically, socially and economically, but also affected the environmental issues of most countries. During the curfew period in many countries due to the coronavirus, it is thought that there is a decrease in the level of air pollution due to the significant decrease in anthropogenic activities. This study is aimed to analyze level of air pollutants (PM, NO2, Ozone) over Cyprus within the period from January 2020 to June 2020 which covers the before lockdown, lockdown, and partial lockdown periods and compare the air quality with the same period of the one year before.

Özet

2019'un sonunda Çin'in Wuhan şehrinde Coronavirus (COVID-19) olarak bilinen bulaşıcı virüsün ortaya çıkması, dünyayı yalnızca politik, sosyal ve ekonomik olarak etkilemekle kalmadı, aynı zamanda çoğu ülkenin çevresel konularını da etkiledi. Koronavirüs nedeniyle birçok ülkede alınan sokağa çıkma yasağı döneminde, antropojenik faaliyetlerin önemli derecede azalması nedeniyle hava kirliliği seviyesinde bir azalma olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, sokağa çıkma yasağı öncesi, sokağa çıkma yasağı ve sonrasındaki kısmi sokağa çıkma yasağı periyotlarını kapsayan, Ocak 2020'den Haziran 2020'ye kadar olan dönemde Kıbrıs'taki hava kirleticilerinin (PM, NO2, Ozone) seviyesini analiz etmeyi ve hava kalitesini bir yıl önceki aynı dönemle karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
