TLDR
The results of NO2 tropospheric column extracted from the Sentinel-5P satellite shown the NO2 emissions reduced up to 35 to 40% across Iraq, due to lockdown measures, between January and July 2020, especially across the major cities such as Baghdad, Basra and Erbil.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the current understanding of the influence of emission reductions on atmospheric pollutant concentrations and air quality is summarized for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM25), ozone (O3), ammonia, sulfur dioxide, black carbon, volatile organic compounds, and carbon monoxide (CO) in the first 7 months following the onset of the coronavirus-19 pandemic.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied ground-and satellite-based data of five criteria air pollutants (PM2.5, NO2, SO2, O3, and CO) and meteorological factors from March 8 to May 15, 2020 (before, partial-, and full-lockdown).

Air quality during three covid-19 lockdown phases: AQI, PM2.5 and NO2 assessment in cities with more than 1 million inhabitants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of lockdown on air quality in 21 cities around the world, including Abidjan, Conakry, and Chengdu, and found that during lockdown, a reduction of 3 to 58% of daily NO2 concentrations was observed across the cities.
