and circulation. The Research Topic here explores the atmospheric impacts in response to the reduction in amounts of anthropogenic pollutants. Does reduced level of pollutants during the lockdown period provide a pathway for climate mitigation strategies?To summarize, this Research Topic presents nine researched articles addressing the key questions raised on our topic. Here, we summarize the highlights of the papers. This research will be helpful for pollution control and climate mitigation strategies for policymakers. concentrations with mobility and their significant reduction during restriction measures at all the selected monitoring stations.
