Air pollution and temperature are associated with increased COVID-19 incidence: A time series study

International Journal of Infectious Diseases Jun 05, 2020

Li H, Xu XL, Dai DW, et al. - Researchers aimed at ascertaining if ambient air pollutants and meteorological parameters promote the transmission of COVID-19 via performing a retrospective study examining the effect of air quality index (AQI), four ambient air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and CO) and five meteorological variables (daily temperature, highest temperature, lowest temperature, temperature difference and sunshine duration) on COVID-19 incidence in Wuhan and XiaoGan between Jan 26 to Feb 29 in 2020. Per finding, COVID-19 transmission was enhanced by increased AQI (decreased air quality), PM2.5, and NO2 and weakened by temperature. Residents are emphasized to use personal protective devices, especially the facial mask, for coronavirus protection in highly polluted regions.
