The Balearic Ports Authority reports a 42% decrease in sulphur dioxide levels in Palma since restrictions on maritime traffic were introduced. This fall was sudden, as it occurred during the week following the declaration of the state of emergency. There were similar decreases in Mahon (-40.9%) and Ibiza (-33.4%). In Alcudia, the drop was more modest, while in La Savina the levels remained unaltered.

The reduction of the gasses that are injurious to resident's health is the most welcome news for Mallorca. It would be excellent if this trend of their reduction could be maintained.
