Corona effect: Los Angeles experiences the cleanest air in 40 years! There are also lines ורות
According to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in recent weeks (since March 18) there has been a 71 percent reduction in the number of vehicles traveling on Los Angeles highways during rush hour. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added that the city recorded this week the largest number of consecutive days with the "lowest level of air pollution" since 1980.
Beyond the hundreds of thousands of cars not on the roads, LAX International Airport has seen a dramatic drop in flights.
Despite the wave of flight cancellations, in the United States there are still thousands of commercial flights every day, often empty of passengers.
Two reasons led to the phenomenon: One, the $ 50 billion in aid money promised to American airlines is conditional on no line operating before the crisis being closed (a reduction in the frequency of flights is allowed). The second reason is probably the increase in demand for cargo flights - a phenomenon explained by the fact that more than 90% of US residents have been instructed to stay at home.
