Abstract :As a reason for a pandemic, the global novel COVID-19 virus has affected all of the World and caused lockdowns in many countries. Naturally, with decreased anthropogenic activities, the influence of the people over the environment has decreased. Thus, improvement in air quality has been noticed. With the use of remote sensing data, in this short communication, we observed the Nitrogen Dioxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO2); over Turkey in the first month from the first appearance of the virus. Then, we compare the results with the same period from last year. Results show a significant reduction in the NO2 amount, especially in the most populated areas in Turkey.
