(SOUNDBITE) (English) JESSICA ROWLEY, DYSON SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER, SAYING:"A lot of the cities are actually showing lower levels of NO2 compared to what it would normally be like at this time of year and some of those that are starting to lift their strict lockdown rules, we're starting to see that trend go back to what we might normally expect for the time of year."
The team will keep measuring
as restrictions lift
to check those initial indications
