ABSTRACT
Upon the outbreak and spreading of COVID-19, several reduction measures have been implemented throughout the world to avert the COVID-19 pandemic risks such as entire lockdowns, social distancing, extensive travel bans, mass quarantines, etc. Many positive and negative indicators of this pandemic on the whole environmental compartments have been reported worldwide. These indicators may include promoting the air quality through a reduction in anthropogenic-based emissions (e.g., CO2 and N2O) and increase ozone concentration in addition to energy, water and wastewater, deforestation, and natural resources. This is the difficult equation concerningthe COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and its health, societal, economic, and environmental risks and how is the recovery of the environment? Is this recovery will be permanent or temporary? The answer to this question may be emphasized during the outcoming days or months. What will increase this global pandemic aggravation if the COVID-19 has appeared in many types, which enforce us to re-think again concerning the task?
ABSTRACT
Human health is severely endangered by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It is viewed as the worst global health threat humans have faced since the second world war and the WHO recognized it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. This pandemic led several nations to adopt statewide lockdowns, while the industrial, construction, and transportation activities in several nations were disrupted, which lead to a significant shift in air pollutants. The lockdown, however, significantly impacted the environment and air quality in distinct cities. There are numerous ground stations deployed by pollution control organizations to monitor and collect the air pollutants data, but it is not feasible to set up a ground station in every city. In places where ground stations are not available for data collection, Google Earth Engine (GEE) satellite captured data can be used for data analysis. This study aimed to analyze the changes in air pollutants during the different lockdowns in India, such as nitrogen dioxide(NO2), sulfur dioxide(SO2), and carbon monoxide(CO) that contribute significantly to air pollution. In India, lockdowns were imposed during different periods of 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to COVID-19 waves. The air pollutants data during different waves have been analyzed and compared with the pre-COVID year (2019) data for the same duration. According to the study results, N O2 and S O2 were drastically reduced, but only a minor reduction in CO. Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai were among the major cities that saw the largest reduction, which was up to 60%. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The current situation of spread of Corona Virus is really worth to worry and critical. As we are moving from stage 2 to stage 3, it is really our duty and right to prevent its spread effectually, as its threat to life of every individual. As per the expert opinion from Health Organizations, the elder people are most at risk of Corona infection. But if the people with high blood pressure or high cholesterol fail to take their prescribed medication, then they are also prone to various infections, due to low immunity levels. Along with regular medication, Sound Therapy is proven the best to improve blood circulation to different organs and also to develop better heart health. So the main objective of this Bibliometric paper is to show positive impact of Yoga and Sound Therapy like clapping, which is one of the best acupressure techniques, on the control of blood pressure. These techniques may lead to one step towards avoiding the spread of Corona Virus infection. The Bibliometric analysis in this paper is done using the giant databases including Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Research Gate. The tools like Gephi, iMapBuilder, NodeXL etc are used for Data Visualization purpose. The study exposed that most of the publications of impact of Sound Therapy on Covid-19 and blood pressure are from conference and journals, affiliated to Computer Science and healthcare, United States lead publications followed by United Kingdom and then Australia, India. © 2020, Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal).
