Impact of COVID-19 on environment pollution

Onesnaževanje okolja je stranski produkt in posledica civilizacijskega razvoja, ki vpliva tako na okolje kot na zdravje in počutje ljudi. Glavni povzročitelj onesnaževanja in obremenjevanja okolja je človek in njegovo poseganje v naravo. Pod najpogostejše oblike onesnaževanja okolja štejemo onesnaževanje zraka, voda, zemlje ter svetlobno in zvočno onesnaževanje. S pojavom virusa COVID-19 smo v poizkusu zajezitve uvedli izolacijo prebivalstva, s tem pa smo bili primorani ustaviti tudi industrijo in promet, ki veljata za največja onesnaževalca okolja. Kljub poizkusom zajezitve te bolezni se je v manj kot treh mesecih virus razširil po celem svetu in večina prebivalstva se je znašla v prisilni karanteni. Ustavil se je skoraj ves svetovni potniški promet in večina svetovne proizvodnje, z njuno ustavitvijo pa se je v veliki meri rešil tudi problem onesnaževanja okolja. Človek s svojimi dejanji povzroča največje onesnaževanje okolja, zato smo med pandemijo virusa COVID-19 in ukrepi, ki smo jih sprejeli v upanju zajezitve pandemije, zabeležili velike spremembe v obsegu onesnaževanja okolja. Upad smo beležili po celem svetu, največji padec pa smo izmerili na industrijsko intenzivnih območjih ter v večjih mestih, kjer so uvedli kovidne ukrepe. V raziskovalnem delu smo v pregled vzeli obdobje pred in med izvršitvijo koronavirusnih ukrepov ter takoj opazili vidno izboljšanje v vseh oblikah onesnaževal. Kot posledica se je v obdobju izvajanja koronskih ukrepov zmanjšala vsebnost strupenih plinov in prašnih delcev v zraku, zmanjšalo se je tudi svetlobno in zvočno onesnaževanje ter onesnaževanje voda in prsti.Pollution and burdening of the environment is because of man and his encroachment on the nature. The most common forms of environmental pollution include air, water, land, light and sound pollution. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus we introduced isolation of the population in an attempt to contain its spreading worldwide. We were also forced to stop industry and transport, which are considered to be two of the biggest polluters of the environment. Despite attempts to contain this disease, in less than three months, the virus spread throughout the world and most of the population found themselves in forced quarantine. Almost all world traffic and industry has stopped, and with the stoppage, the problem of environmental pollution has largely been solved. Humans cause the greatest environmental pollution through their actions, so during the COVID-19 virus pandemic and the measures we took in the hope of containing the pandemic we recorded major changes in environmental pollution. Changes were recorded all over the world and the largest ones were measured in industrially intensive areas and in large cities where COVID-19 measures were introduced. In the research work, we examined the period before and during the execution of the coronavirus measures. We immediately noticed a visible improvement in all forms of pollutants. As a result, during the implementation of corona measures, the content of toxic gases and dust particles in the air decreased, as well as light, sound, water and soil pollution
