Indirect effects of COVID-19 on the environment	2020-04-20		.txt	text/plain	814	52	52	Abstract This research aims to show the positive and negative indirect effects of COVID-19 on the environment, particularly in the most affected countries such as China, USA, Italy, and Spain. On the other hand, there are also negative secondary aspects such as the reduction in recycling and the increase in waste, further endangering the contamination of physical spaces (water and land), in addition to air. Global economic activity is expected to return in the coming months in most countries (even if slowly), so decreasing GHG concentrations during a short period is not a sustainable way to clean up our environment. Along these same lines, the UN Environment Program urged governments to treat waste management, including medical, domestic, and other waste, as an urgent and essential public service to minimize possible secondary health and environmental effects (ARCplus, 2020). Decreasing GHG concentrations during a short period is not a sustainable way to clean up our environment.	./cache/cord-308086-jycvupy4.txt	./txt/cord-308086-jycvupy4.txt
