Abstract


This work develops a theme of global interest, namely “air quality”. Every inhabitant of our planet must contribute to protecting and preserving the environment for our health, flora and fauna, in order to leave a clean environment for future generations. Car transport proves that, for comfort, man has created and continues to exploit anthropogenic sources that have strong negative effects even on himself. A study of air quality during the Coronavirus Pandemic was conducted and conclusions for this period when car traffic was restricted were drawn. We are studying the air quality in 1096 days, in the city of Craiova in Romania, during the pandemic period, 2019-2021, as other countries have done.
