Commuting to work by private vehicle is one of the main sources air pollution in cities, mainly from NO2 and particulate matter (PM2.5 PM10). With spread telework, traffic congestion during peak hours reduced on certain days week, improving quality. This study an-alyzes relationship between improvement quality urban resulting teleworking activities after COVID-19 pandemic Madrid, Spain. The article considers road before (2018 2019), (2020 2021) period (2022 2023) city center in-fluence environmental factors. Daily NO2, PM2.5, PM10, O3 concentration data were collected at stations Madrid municipality, some meteorological variables such as wind speed, precipitation temperature considered. When conducting correlation regression analysis among it shows a clear association pandemic, which lower for both PM O3. was main-tained except O3, whose increased this then decreased later due various motives. These results seem indicate ex-istence relevant mobility an especially rele-vant with suggesting need policies aimed promoting sustainable future.

The proliferation of low-emission zones (LEZs) across Europe is anticipated to accelerate in the coming years as a measure enhance air quality urban areas. Nevertheless, there lack standardized methodology evaluate their effectiveness, and some proposed strategies may not adequately address issues or overlook meteorological considerations. In this study, we employ three machine learning (ML) algorithms forecast NO2, PM10 PM2.5 concentrations Madrid 2022 (post-LEZ) based on data from period 2015–2018 (pre-LEZ) under business-as-usual scenario, accounting for seasonal factors. According models, reductions NO2 varied 29 35% contrast scenario without LEZ, which coherent with observed decrease traffic volume inside area limited by LEZ. However, no clear improvement was concentrations.
