ABSTRACT
Changes in the atmospheric electricity characteristics (AECs) during the spring of 2020 in the urban, suburban, and very low human impact areas (Irkutsk, Irkutsk oblast;Voeikovo, Leningrad oblast;Tiksi, Republic of Sakha) are considered. Based on the AEC data, a theoretical assessment of the change in aerosol concentrations at these sites was carried out. Apparently, the decline in economic activity associated with the measures to prevent the expansion of COVID-19 significantly decreased the concentration of airborne particles in cities and suburban regions.
