Air pollution levels have dropped by more than a third in Manchester since the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, according to a new university study.
The welcome findings are in common with other UK cities after transport levels plummeted as people and workers stayed at home.
The study involved levels of the key pollutant nitrogen dioxide, which mostly comes from combustion engines in vehicles. It found that in Manchester, levels fell by 39 per cent compared to the period pre-lockdown.
But, said experts at the University of York, there has not been the same impact on another form of toxic pollution, tiny particles known as PM2.5.
