European cities are enjoying the cleanest air they’ve had in, well, virtually forever, as air pollution levels fall drastically as a result of confinement.

Sifted has worked with startup Plume Labs to bring you street-by-street pollution maps of Paris, Madrid and Brussels — comparing before and after governments ordered everyone indoors.

The startup’s analysis yields live pollution measurements, as well as a broader kind of weather report for air quality.

Plume Labs’ scientists say there’s been a slight decrease in particulate matter (PM) concentrations caused by the decrease in emissions around Europe.

Like the Paris map, this one for Brussels is based on NO2 data from March 16, compared to the March 21-24 average. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1585719006.5872872/Air-quality-maps-show-drastic-pollution-drop-amid-coronavirus?ref=audio_experience
