Toledo, OH – March 4, 2020 – NASA Earth Observatory published an interesting series of pictures showing nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) gas in the atmosphere over China during the coronavirus outbreak. NO₂ is a gas pollutant associated with emissions from automobiles, industrial facilities, and combustion processes. The article states that the timing of the reduction can be linked to the spread of the coronavirus in China, where the response has been to shut down transportation and manufacturing to contain the spread of illness.

The images were taken from the Sentinel satellite, which is equipped with an infrared spectral sensor capable of “seeing” and measuring gases in the atmosphere. Satelytics’ customers have asked for measurement capabilities of numerous gases over the years and our suite of analytics can provide you with answers to your emissions problems.
