Introduction

Everyone knows that Italy was the worst hit country by the Covid-19. Therefore we begin our research with data from the Gioia Tauro region of Italy.

The pandemic restrictions and the related economic crisis have highly impacted the pollution level in different areas of Europe and of the world. Although this fact has been widely demonstrated, this specific analysis aims to look jointly at different sources of pollution and the NO2 level computed from Sentinel 5P satellite and to analyse how the trend varied between 2019 and 2020.
