Research across Disciplines Regarding the Covid-19 Outbreak

Abstract :
The analysis of the aerosol load in the atmosphere before and after the COVID-19 spread is the foundation of this interdisciplinary discussion article. The investigation reveals that the aerosol load in the atmosphere has significantly decreased as a result of numerous anthropogenic activities. Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) statistics at the 550nm wavelength band were obtained by the authors after analysis of the last 20 years (2000-2019) of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data sets. With the exception of a few places in Central and South West India, the AOD anomaly from COVID-19 week indicates a noticeable decrease in AOD across the entire Indian subcontinent. This might be because the industrial units in these locations are taking longer than usual to shut down. This analysis has further highlighted the need for us to use air pollution-related resources wisely in the future.
