Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has had an impact on every aspect of human life, including the physical environment. The efforts required to stop the virus from spreading and the resulting halt in economic activity have had a substantial impact on the environment. Hence, this study intends to explore the positive and negative environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, by reviewing the available scientific literature. According to this research, the pandemic condition improves air quality in various cities throughout the world, reduces gas emissions, reduces water pollution and noise, and relieves pressure on tourist attractions, all of which may aid in the ecological systems rehabilitation. Besides the positive impacts, there are also some negative environmental impacts caused by COVID-19 pandemic, such as increase of medical waste, careless use and disposal of disinfectants, surgical/medical masks, and gloves; and the burden of untreated wastes continuously threaten our environment. Along with the economic activities which will return soon after the pandemic, the situation might change. This study also outlines possible ways to achieve long-term environmental benefits in order to reach environmental sustainability.
