Cover Story: The diffusion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the whole world, changing the life habits of billions of people. Among the proposed measures to reduce contagion, the use of personal protective equipment (masks and gloves) by the general population has caused an unprecedented demand, with unknown environmental implications. We selected a region highly impacted by the pandemic in Italy to estimate the possible impacts on the environment derived from the abundant use of personal protective equipment, based on population behavior and national health guidelines. The results highlight a concerning increase in plastic waste derived from disposable personal protective equipment, warning of the need to face the negative environmental implications of the current pandemic in the near future.
