Quantifying the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic Restrictions on CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, and CH<sub>4</sub> in Downtown Toronto Using Open-Path Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

During the global COVID-19 pandemic, anthropogenic emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially traffic emissions in urban areas, have declined. Long-term measurements of trace gas concentrations in urban areas can be used to quantify the impact of emission reductions on GHG m...
