Incidence of COVID-19 and Connections with Air Pollution Exposure (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.27.20081562v1)
This study investigates the relationship between exposure to particulate matter and COVID-19 incidence in 355 municipalities in the Netherlands. The results show that atmospheric particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 is a highly significant predictor of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and related hospital admissions. The estimates suggest that expected COVID-19 cases increase by nearly 100 percent when pollution concentrations increase by 20 percent. (MedRxiv)
