The respiratory illness symptoms and mortality due to prolonged exposure to gaseous pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), etc., have been reported earlier in India and around the world in several studies (Abbey et al. The objective of this research was to analyse the effect of lockdown on improving the levels of air pollution in various cities across India using satellite-derived spatiotemporal data sets and ground-based measurements. Additionally, to understand the effect of long term exposure of NO 2 on human health, COVID-19 positive cases and number of deaths was obtained for all districts around the country of India as on 18 May 2020.	./cache/cord-029527-6vhhi54g.txt	./txt/cord-029527-6vhhi54g.txt
