Air pollution negatively
affects all living and inanimate beings. With the increasing human population,
the damage to the environment is increasing every day. The rise of consumption
emerged with the increase in the human population. The exploitation of natural
resources for competition in the global arena caused nature to be an endless
resource. However, nature also has an end; thus, it is not inexhaustible. In
recent years, human begins to create living conditions that are compatible with
the environment. Air, water, soil, noise, and visual pollution seem to be the
most basic environmental pollution types. When studies on air pollution are
examined, the emergence of industrialisation has been proved to be one of the
first and foremost reasons for pollution. The Covid-19, moreover, reveals the
devastating impact of humans on nature. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the
air quality increased globally in the first few days thanks to decreased human
mobility. Therefore, this study will investigate the studies on air pollution
in the international arena; examine what kinds of studies are done locally with
international attempts with a SWOT analysis, and discuss how the air pollution
process is affected significantly during the Covid-19 period.
