Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic have dramatically affected the socio-economic structure in the world since governments put into action considerable precautions including lockdowns to reduce the speed of the contagion. Focusing on this point, we empirically investigate the environmental outcomes of the Covid-19 precautions and lockdowns in Turkey. The empirical analysis through the data obtained from different measurement stations indicate that the air pollution in the selected Turkish cities decreased due to the implemented precautions. The findings suggest that the Covid-19 might be an opportunity to rethink some economic and behavioral practices, as demonstrated by the reduction in the emission of air pollutants.
COVID-19预防措施和封锁导致空气质量改善吗?来自土耳其各省的实证研究结果
新冠肺炎大流行极大地影响了世界的社会经济结构,因为各国政府采取了包括封锁在内的大量预防措施,以减缓传染的速度。围绕这一点,我们实证调查了土耳其Covid-19预防措施和封锁的环境后果。通过不同测量站的数据进行实证分析表明,由于采取了预防措施,所选土耳其城市的空气污染有所减少。研究结果表明,Covid-19可能是重新思考一些经济和行为做法的机会,正如减少空气污染物排放所证明的那样。
