, Nurul Fathimah Shamshudin, Nurul Rabitah Daud, · Journal of Sustainable Civil Engineering and Technology · 2022

This research explores one of the most serious environmental threats to human health which is air pollution. The objective of this study is to examine the concentration of several air pollutants that has been affecting the atmosphere specifically in Southeast Asia after the emergence of the pandemic. Throughout this research, the air pollution concentration is monitored using several observation satellites such as NASA GIOVANNI, Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), and MODIS-Aqua to see the difference in air quality before and after the lockdown was implemented in the selected specific area. The average mean for the studied year of each selected pollutant was also observed to see the pattern of the air quality after the pandemic. Thailand and other northern Southeast Asian nations bordering China were found to be the most affected by transboundary pollution, which was brought on by the climatological changes that all Southeast Asian countries experienced. In addition, most Southeast Asian nations are regarded as developing countries that rely significantly on power produced by fossil fuels and individual transportation. Consequently, it significantly worsens the air pollution in the
