Air pollution throughout Israel has plummeted since the coronavirus outbreak began, with pollution in the Dan region where Tel Aviv is located dropping 40% in general and 50% at train stations, according to Army Radio. The Environmental Protection Ministry checked the concentration of nitrogen dioxide with the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, according to Israel Hayom. The monitoring stations of the National Air Monitoring Network also detected about a 40% fall in nitrogen dioxide concentrations recently compared to the average. Pollution even fell noticeable in less inhabited and busy areas such as the Golan Heights, the Galillee and the Negev.
