What if clean air benefits during COVID-19 shutdown continued post-pandemic?


 E-Mail
A new study by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health researchers poses a hypothetical question: What if air quality improvements in New York City during the spring 2020 COVID-19 shutdown were sustained for five years without the economic and health costs of the pandemic? They estimate cumulative benefits of clean air during this period would amount to thousands of avoided cases of illness and death in children and adults, as well as associated economic benefits between $32 to $77 billion. The study s findings are published in the journal
Environmental Research.
The researchers leveraged the unintended natural experiment of cleaner air in New York City during the COVID-19 shutdown to simulate the potential future health and economic benefits from sustained air quality improvements of a similar magnitude. They do not frame this study as an estimate of the benefits of the pandemic. Rather they offer this hypothetical clean air scenario as an aspi ....

Rockville, Md.  –  A new study finds that New York City’s two-month shutdown during COVID-19 while undeniably painful could point the way toward saving thousands of lives through improved air quality, generating billions of dollars in related economic benefits in the process. Neighborhoods with higher percentages of low-income residents or higher percentages of Black or Latinx residents likely would benefit more from the reduced particulate matter concentrations. The study’s findings are published in the journal
During the initial shutdown from March 15 to May 15, researchers from Columbia University, Abt Associates, and ZevRoss Spatial Analysis estimated a citywide 23 percent reduction in fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) concentrations. This was attributable to an estimated 60 percent decline in automobile traffic, as well as declines in air traffic, construction, restaurant operation and electricity generation. They then extrapol ....
