Disruptions from the corona virus out break will exacerbate India's 
economic slowdown . A deterioration of global economic conditions and a 
21 day lockdown imposed by Indian government in an effort to slow the 
spread of Corona virus will weigh on domestic demand and private 
investments.<div>But as people have changed their everyday 
behaviors and patterns to contain or avoid the spread of virus , there 
have been some subtle effects on the environment .</div><div>Few of them are mentioned as follows :-&nbsp;</div><div><span><u><b>Control in Air pollution</b></u>&nbsp;:- Air pollution in India has been one of the serious health issues since past few years . <b>India has 21 of the world's 30 most polluted cities, </b>according to the World Air Quality Report 2019.</span></div><div><span>However,
 over the past few days , India has enforced lockdown in almost all the 
major polluted cities of country . This lockdown not only enforced 
people to stay at home but also led to decrease in <b>Industrial, Transportation , Construction and Business activities.</b></span></div><div><span><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</b>Now
 that the whole country is experiencing lockdown because of the Corona 
virus outbreak , we can see numerous reports claiming that there has 
been a global decline in air pollution.&nbsp; The levels of <b>Nitrogen Dioxide ( NO2) , </b>a pollutant , emitted generally by motor vehicles , went down drastically.</span></div><div>Several
 cities of India otherwise known to record high pollution levels have 
recorded an improvement in air quality since 21st march.&nbsp;</div><div><b>Below

</span><br></div><div><span><u><b>Decrease in Noise Pollution</b></u>&nbsp;:-
 Noise Pollution in todays life has become a major problem in India that
 has led to serious health issues like hearing loss, increasing stress 
levels, behavioral and mental problems, insomnia, heart ailments, 
hypertension and many more.</span></div><div><span>According to the standard set by <b>the</b>&nbsp;<b>Central&nbsp;Pollution Control Board of India,&nbsp;</b>the
 safe noise level for hearing is around 50dB to 55dB average noise 
exposure for 24 hours . But in India cities like Mumbai which is <b>one of the noisiest cities in the world</b> with sound level over <b>100dB</b>, in Delhi sound level often reach upto <b>85dB</b> on regular basis due to vehicle honking. In Kolkata , Hyderabad and Chennai the level sometimes reach upto <b>85dB</b> ,<b>90dB</b> and <b>85dB</b> respectively.</span></div><div>The

</span><br></div><div>But due to the lockdown enforced by government, the vehicle 
transportation level has drastically changed which led to decrease in 
level of noise emitted out of vehicles . Now the average sound level in 
metro cities ,went down to the satisfactory level of 55dB approx.</div><div><b><u><br></u></b></div><div><span><u><b>Control in Road Accident </b></u>:-&nbsp;
 Not a single day passes without Road Traffic Accident happening in the 
roads in India in which countless number of people are killed or 
disabled. Often members of whole family are wiped out.</span></div><div><span><b>India is among top 5 countries in the world with maximum deaths due to road accidents. </b>According to the Report of 2018<b>&nbsp;,</b>&nbsp;India
 experiences more than 450000 road accidents with fatalities over 150000
 which translates into an average of 1230 accidents per day with an 
average of 400 deaths per day .</span></div><div>The picture below is showing the rising rate of fatalities year by year :-</div><div><span><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H3Btb27mj34/XoiPVYe70nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/InnwFslNupM5zVujn8hpJU4JxCkW13gVwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1586007886419788-2.png" target="" rel="">

</span>Those who are affected or killed are mostly people in their prime
 productive age. The highest burden of injuries and fatalities is borne 
by poor and lower middle class people, as they are mostly pedestrians, 
cyclists and passengers of buses and minibuses.</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;But a proper 21 day lockdown amid Covid-19 
outbreak can control 25000 road accidents and deaths around 8000 across 
India .</div><div><br></div><div><span><u>Clean hands save lives&nbsp;</u>&nbsp;:-
 Many illnesses start when hands get contaminated with disease - causing
 bacteria and virus. Two Major illnesses that transmitted due to 
uncleaned hands are <b>diarrhea</b> and <b>pneumonia</b>, causing more than 20% deaths of children under age of five across the world .&nbsp;</span></div><div><span>According to the Report of 2017, <b>an estimated 233240 Indian kids below the age of five died of either of the two infections.</b></span></div><div><span><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</b>But
 now in order to prevent the outbreak of Covid-19, poeple are practicing
 hygiene habits like frequently hand washing , using sanitizer, eating 
hygienic foods , wearing mask , very seriously. These habits not only 
prevent corona virus to spread in community but will also protect 
children from many life threatening diseases and infections and we can 
expect ,same habits practiced by the human beings in the days of post 
Corona virus outbreak.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span><b><u>Disclaimer</u>&nbsp;:- </b>The
