In contrast to previous studies on air pollution during Covid-19 lockdown, such as [15] [16] [17] , we investigate the detailed probability distributions of different pollutants, analysing various locations within the cities. Before moving on to probability distributions and moments,we have to point out that Delhi has a much higher concentration of P M 10 due to its sub-tropical climate and the high frequency of dust storms [13, 21, 22] but also the decrease due to the lockdown is much more impressive than in the overall less-polluted London. The picture for Delhi is quite different: Without a lockdown, the pollutant concentrations are regularly 3 to 5 times as high as in London, indicating a much worse air quality in general. ./cache/cord-199268-fue7ri4h.txt ./txt/cord-199268-fue7ri4h.txt
