Effect of air pollution reductions on mortality during the COVID-19 lockdown: A natural experiment study

This multicountry study will evaluate whether changes in mortality are associated with changes in ambient NO₂ and PM_2.5 levels before, during, and after the lockdown and disentangle the short-term effects of NO₂ versus PM_2.5 on mortality. The analysis will be conducted in four countries: China, Germany, Italy, and the United States.
