Analysis of air quaility data in Vienna (Brancher et al., 2021)  shows a reduction of NO2 by 20% during the hard Lockdown in 2020, but no significant changes in Ox.

Methane (CH4)  is an important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The methane emission budget has a sizeable anthropogenic contribution, which makes methane the most important non-CO2 greenhouse gas released from anthropogenic activities. Methane emissions play…

During the lockdown we find larger emission reductions for classic air pollutants (NOx, NMVOC) than for CO2 – are traffic NOx emissions still underestimated? More:  https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/21/3091/2021/
