Effect size of COVID-19 mobility restrictions intensity on air pollution: a natural experiment.

Publication date: Jun 17, 2026

To improve air quality, regulatory actions targeting road traffic and industrial emissions must be implemented. This study determined the effect size (ES, Cohen’s δ) and the significance of progressive quarantine restrictions levels national quarantine [NQ], smart quarantine [SQ], and focalized quarantine [FQ] on air pollution in BogotcE1, Colombia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A natural experiment showed that, during SQ and FQ phases, concentrations of [PM₁₀, 20. 0 ug/m3; PM₂. ₅, 8. 03 ug/m3; SO, 1. 61 ug/m3] and [PM₁₀, 23. 2 ug/m3, PM₂. ₅, 8. 84 ug/m3], respectively, were significantly lower than during equivalent pre-pandemic periods (year 2019; p
