Air quality index shows Tel Aviv pollution remaining despite shutdown
Pollution levels in some areas near Tel Aviv are still high despite much of the country being shut down, according to data from the Environmental Protection Ministry and the Air Quality Index Project website.
High levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) are recorded at the busy Hashalom Interchange in central Tel Aviv and in the Holon area south of Tel Aviv.
NOx is a common pollutant in vehicle emissions.
Israelis have been told to work from home and avoid going out except for specific reasons, like to purchase supplies.
