Long-term air pollution exposure and COVID-19 case-severity: An analysis of individual-level data from Switzerland

Anton Beloconi et al.

Summary: Several studies have shown that exposure to elevated air pollutants may increase COVID-19 mortality. However, there is limited research on the association between air pollution exposure and COVID-19 severe morbidity. A study in Switzerland found that long-term exposure to air pollution increased the risk of COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic, but not during the second wave when the national health system was better prepared.

Effect of human thermal plume and ventilation interaction on bacteria-carrying particles diffusion in operating room microenvironment

Zhijian Liu et al.

Summary: In the operating room, ventilation and thermal plumes significantly affect the distribution of bacteria-carrying particles, especially in the presence of human thermal plumes. The study showed that ventilation and thermal plumes interact to impact the diffusion of particles, with a critical air supply velocity of 0.25 m/s for effective control. Increasing air supply velocity alone is not sufficient to control the effect of thermal plumes on bacteria-carrying particles.

SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly inactivated at high temperature

Jennifer Biryukov et al.

Summary: This study investigated the environmental stability of SARS-CoV-2 in a clinically relevant matrix dried onto stainless steel at a high temperature. The results showed that at 54.5 degrees C, the virus half-life was approximately 10.8 minutes and the time for a 90% decrease in infectivity was about 35.4 minutes. This suggests that in environments with temperatures reaching at least 54.5 degrees C, such as in vehicle interior cabins, the potential exposure to infectious virus on surfaces could be substantially reduced in under an hour.

The impact of outdoor air pollution on COVID-19: a review of evidence from in vitro, animal, and human studies

Epidemiological investigations have linked various air pollutants to COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, but there are limitations. Air pollution may increase COVID-19 severity and lethality through impacts on chronic diseases and immune response, facilitating viral penetration and replication. Further epidemiological studies and experimental research are needed to better understand the impact of air pollution on COVID-19.

Xuelin Tian et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban transportation and air pollutant emissions in representative Canadian cities. It found that lockdown measures led to a decrease in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from urban vehicles, with a subsequent rebound. The study also identified strong correlations between the Air Quality Health Index, level of urban congestion, and concentrations of NO2 and CO during the pandemic, while SO2 did not show significant relation. The comprehensive analysis of changing fuel consumption, traffic volume, and emission levels can help government assess the impact and plan strategies for future pandemics.
