Particulate matter and SARS-CoV-2: A possible model of COVID-19 transmission

Nguyen Thanh Tung et al.

Summary: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a global pandemic. Particulate matter (PM) may act as a carrier for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, with PM increasing the expression of ACE2 in the lungs, facilitating viral adhesion. This suggests that PM could be a direct and indirect transmission model for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Effect of short-term ambient PM2.5 exposure on fasting blood glucose levels: A longitudinal study among 47,471 people in eastern China

Mengyao Zhan et al.

Summary: The study found a positive correlation between short-term outdoor PM2.5 exposure and FBG levels, which exists in both the entire population and normal population. Additionally, the effects of PM2.5 could be modified by age.

Air pollution and the pandemic: Long-term PM2.5 exposure and disease severity in COVID-19 patients

Angelico Mendy et al.

Summary: Ecological studies have suggested a link between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and increased severity of COVID-19. Individual-level studies have now confirmed that higher PM2.5 exposure is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for COVID-19 patients. Implementing stricter COVID-19 prevention measures might be necessary in areas with higher PM2.5 exposure to reduce disease morbidity and healthcare burden.
