Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is generated by vehicles, heavy industry and power plants, which have been shut down during the coronavirus pandemic. The main effects of breathing NO2 relates to the increase of probability of respiratory problems as it inflames the lining of the lungs and reduce immunity to lung infections, causing problems like coughing, colds and bronchitis. The following images depict the timeline of NO2 emissions during the COVID-19 outbreak in Portugal and Spain, images from European satellite Copernicus Sentinel 5P using TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) .
