It is the financial, entertainment, and commercial center of India. During COVID-19 pandemic confinement, the second most populated city of India i.e., Mumbai has moved from poor to a satisfactory level of air quality. As initially at site 2, the values of the pollutants which were scattered around 200–300 μg/m3 before confinement fallen to less than 60 μg/m3 during the confinement period (Fig. 4). The mean concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO, significantly reduced with a percentage of 73, 47, 86, 58, 58, 55, and 60 respectively due to shutdown of navigation activities and other industrial sectors with automobile transportation (Table 1). The drastic decline in nitrogen oxide levels over Mumbai is the result of reduced carbon-emission hotspots, industrial and coal combustion-dominated areas. A decrease in the concentration of urban ground-level ozone was recorded by 60% due to high reduction in nitrogen oxide concentration in the atmosphere.\nFig. 4 The concentration of air pollutants (PM2.5 in μg/m3, PM10 in μg/m3, CO in μg/m3, NH3 in μg/m3, NO2 in μg/m3, SO2 in μg/m3, and O3 in μg/m3) during pre-lockdown and lockdown period at 17:00 IST among four different air quality monitoring stations of the CPCB for four major metropolitan cities in India (site 1—ITO, Delhi, site 2—Worli, Mumbai, site 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata, and site 4—Manali Village, Chennai)\n\nSite 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata\nAfter Delhi and Mumbai, Kolkata is the third populous metropolitan area in the nation. Kolkata is the educational, cultural, and commercial center of the eastern part of the country and is the capital of West Bengal. The concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO at site 3 significantly dropped steeply from 242, 205, 85, 10, 9, and 49 μg/m3 as on January 1, 2020 to 20, 28, 9, 1, 7, and 22 μg/m3 during COVID-19 pandemic confinement on May 31, 2020, respectively. Also, the mean concentration levels of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO significantly reduced by 73%, 63%, 79%, 74%, 15%, and 32% due to decline in fossil fuel consumption, biomass burning, and other anthropogenic activities as observed from Fig. 4, while ozone levels were significantly raised by 77% with total variation of + 22 μg/m3 during confinement period as similar to Delhi due to high winds, intermittent rains and thunderstorms, and high temperature and heatwaves.\n\nSite 4—Manali Village, Chennai\nChennai, the capital of Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is the fourth urban agglomeration in the nation and is the 36th largest urban area by population in the world. It is located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal and is center for the cultural, economical, and educational activities of south India. Similar to all other studied sites, the air quality of site 4—Manali Village, Chennai also confirmed improvement in terms of reduction in pollutant level during the confinement period. The mean concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, NH3, and SO2 were reduced by 54%, 17%, 30%, and 39% respectively as shown in Fig. 4, while due to fuel and coal burning, vehicular emissions, and continuous functioning of power plants in the neighborhood of site 4, there was no significant reduction in NO2 (+ 1 μg/m3), CO (+ 9 μg/m3), and ozone levels (+ 29 μg/m3) (https://www.cag.org.in/blogs/air-quality-chennai-during-lockdown-do-we-have-clues-mitigate-air-pollution)."}

It is the financial, entertainment, and commercial center of India. During COVID-19 pandemic confinement, the second most populated city of India i.e., Mumbai has moved from poor to a satisfactory level of air quality. As initially at site 2, the values of the pollutants which were scattered around 200–300 μg/m3 before confinement fallen to less than 60 μg/m3 during the confinement period (Fig. 4). The mean concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO, significantly reduced with a percentage of 73, 47, 86, 58, 58, 55, and 60 respectively due to shutdown of navigation activities and other industrial sectors with automobile transportation (Table 1). The drastic decline in nitrogen oxide levels over Mumbai is the result of reduced carbon-emission hotspots, industrial and coal combustion-dominated areas. A decrease in the concentration of urban ground-level ozone was recorded by 60% due to high reduction in nitrogen oxide concentration in the atmosphere.\nFig. 4 The concentration of air pollutants (PM2.5 in μg/m3, PM10 in μg/m3, CO in μg/m3, NH3 in μg/m3, NO2 in μg/m3, SO2 in μg/m3, and O3 in μg/m3) during pre-lockdown and lockdown period at 17:00 IST among four different air quality monitoring stations of the CPCB for four major metropolitan cities in India (site 1—ITO, Delhi, site 2—Worli, Mumbai, site 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata, and site 4—Manali Village, Chennai)\n\nSite 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata\nAfter Delhi and Mumbai, Kolkata is the third populous metropolitan area in the nation. Kolkata is the educational, cultural, and commercial center of the eastern part of the country and is the capital of West Bengal. The concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO at site 3 significantly dropped steeply from 242, 205, 85, 10, 9, and 49 μg/m3 as on January 1, 2020 to 20, 28, 9, 1, 7, and 22 μg/m3 during COVID-19 pandemic confinement on May 31, 2020, respectively. Also, the mean concentration levels of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO significantly reduced by 73%, 63%, 79%, 74%, 15%, and 32% due to decline in fossil fuel consumption, biomass burning, and other anthropogenic activities as observed from Fig. 4, while ozone levels were significantly raised by 77% with total variation of + 22 μg/m3 during confinement period as similar to Delhi due to high winds, intermittent rains and thunderstorms, and high temperature and heatwaves.\n\nSite 4—Manali Village, Chennai\nChennai, the capital of Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is the fourth urban agglomeration in the nation and is the 36th largest urban area by population in the world. It is located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal and is center for the cultural, economical, and educational activities of south India. Similar to all other studied sites, the air quality of site 4—Manali Village, Chennai also confirmed improvement in terms of reduction in pollutant level during the confinement period. The mean concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, NH3, and SO2 were reduced by 54%, 17%, 30%, and 39% respectively as shown in Fig. 4, while due to fuel and coal burning, vehicular emissions, and continuous functioning of power plants in the neighborhood of site 4, there was no significant reduction in NO2 (+ 1 μg/m3), CO (+ 9 μg/m3), and ozone levels (+ 29 μg/m3) (https://www.cag.org.in/blogs/air-quality-chennai-during-lockdown-do-we-have-clues-mitigate-air-pollution)."}

During COVID-19 pandemic confinement, the second most populated city of India i.e., Mumbai has moved from poor to a satisfactory level of air quality. As initially at site 2, the values of the pollutants which were scattered around 200–300 μg/m3 before confinement fallen to less than 60 μg/m3 during the confinement period (Fig. 4). The mean concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO, significantly reduced with a percentage of 73, 47, 86, 58, 58, 55, and 60 respectively due to shutdown of navigation activities and other industrial sectors with automobile transportation (Table 1). The drastic decline in nitrogen oxide levels over Mumbai is the result of reduced carbon-emission hotspots, industrial and coal combustion-dominated areas. A decrease in the concentration of urban ground-level ozone was recorded by 60% due to high reduction in nitrogen oxide concentration in the atmosphere.\nFig. 4 The concentration of air pollutants (PM2.5 in μg/m3, PM10 in μg/m3, CO in μg/m3, NH3 in μg/m3, NO2 in μg/m3, SO2 in μg/m3, and O3 in μg/m3) during pre-lockdown and lockdown period at 17:00 IST among four different air quality monitoring stations of the CPCB for four major metropolitan cities in India (site 1—ITO, Delhi, site 2—Worli, Mumbai, site 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata, and site 4—Manali Village, Chennai)\n\nSite 3—Jadavpur, Kolkata\nAfter Delhi and Mumbai, Kolkata is the third populous metropolitan area in the nation.

Also, the mean concentration levels of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NH3, SO2, and CO significantly reduced by 73%, 63%, 79%, 74%, 15%, and 32% due to decline in fossil fuel consumption, biomass burning, and other anthropogenic activities as observed from Fig. 4, while ozone levels were significantly raised by 77% with total variation of + 22 μg/m3 during confinement period as similar to Delhi due to high winds, intermittent rains and thunderstorms, and high temperature and heatwaves.\n\nSite 4—Manali Village, Chennai\nChennai, the capital of Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is the fourth urban agglomeration in the nation and is the 36th largest urban area by population in the world.
