Positive association between outdoor air pollution and the incidence and severity of COVID-19. A review of the recent scientific evidences

Montse Marques et al.

Summary: Most studies suggest that chronic exposure to certain air pollutants may lead to more severe and deadly forms of COVID-19, delaying patient recovery. There is a significant association between chronic exposure to various outdoor air pollutants and the incidence/risk of COVID-19 cases, as well as the severity/mortality of the disease.

Air pollution by NO2and PM2.5explains COVID-19 infection severity by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in respiratory cells: a review

Biswaranjan Paital et al.

Summary: The overexpression of ACE-2 in respiratory epithelial cells under chronic exposure to air pollution may explain the higher severity of COVID-19 infection. Areas with high levels of air pollution, particularly NO2 and PM2.5, also tend to show higher rates of COVID-19 infection and severity, suggesting a correlation between air pollution levels, ACE-2 expression, and COVID-19 severity.

A Review on Air Quality Measurement Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Vinit Lambey et al.

Summary: The negative impact of urban air quality highlights the importance of microlevel pollution data, with unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with sensors providing new methods for air quality monitoring. However, the widespread use of UAVs is still constrained by various factors including technical limitations, policies, and laws.
