The climatological parameters can be different in various geographical locations. Moreover, they have possible impacts on COVID-19 incidence. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review article was to describe effects climatic variables pandemic countries. Systematic literature search performed Scopus, ISI Web Science, and PubMed databases using (“Climate” OR “Climate Change” “Global Warming” Climate “Meteorological Parameters” “Temperature” “Precipitation” “Relative Humidity” “Wind Speed” “Sunshine” Extremes” “Weather Extremes”) AND (“COVID” “Coronavirus disease 2019” “COVID-19” “SARS-CoV-2” “Novel Coronavirus”) keywords. From 5229 articles, 424 were screened 149 selected for further analysis. relationship between meteorological is variable results indicate that among indicators, temperature most significant factor influences Some studies proved warm wet climates decrease incidence; however, other represented location a high risk It could suggested all climate such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, precipitation, solar radiation, ultraviolet index, wind speed cause spread COVID-19. Thus, it recommended future will survey role interaction them specific small areas cities each country comparison them.

This narrative review paper is aimed to critically evaluate recent studies of the associations between air pollution and outcomes in COVID-19 pandemic. The main pollutants we have considered are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ground-level ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM2.5 PM10), sulfur (SO2). We, specifically, evaluated influences these pollutants, both individually collaboratively, across various geographic areas exposure windows. We further reviewed proposed biological mechanisms underlying association COVID-19. Ultimately, aim inform policy public health practice regarding implications pollution.

COVID–19 has disrupted human life considerably since the beginning of 2020. The transport sector is one most affected due to restrictions imposed curb pandemic. This paper evaluates environmental impacts response scenarios using cycle assessment approach. Six regions selected for study are Australia, China, European Union (EU), India, United Kingdom (UK), and States America (USA). Data vehicle population, kilometers travelled, fleet type, fuel efficiency were used 2015–2020. calculated five scenarios; Baseline–2019, Business As Usual (BAU) Response Scenario (CRS) 2020 2030 namely, 2020–BAU, 2020–CRS, 2030–BAU, 2030–CRS. results indicate that occurrence related measures did not contribute significant environment benefits in terms Global Warming Potential (GWP) other pollutants short term long term. implies although immediate reductions emissions observed many studies, effects minimal irregular policies unmanaged demand.
