ABSTRACT

The third Industrial Revolution brought about major changes in the lives of people. But people were too late to realize that the impact of the Revolution had an adverse effect on the environment and the biodiversity. With more and more industries and automobiles thriving around, improper waste management techniques, and increasing deforestation, the air quality started declining rapidly. Higher AQI level indicates poorer air quality and vice-versa. The Corona Virus Disease or Covid-19 is a pandemic that has claimed millions of lives till date. To contain its spread, countries are imposing nationwide lockdowns. With the imposition of lockdown, life came to a still. Almost everything flourished online pertaining to which, the air quality started getting better and better. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
