The World Health Organization (WHO) recognised variant B.1.1.529 of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a concern, termed "Omicron", on November 26, 2021. Its diffusion was attributed to its several mutations, which allow promoting ability diffuse worldwide and capability in immune evasion. As consequence, some additional serious threats public health posed risk undermine global efforts made last two years control pandemic. In past, works were devoted discussing possible contribution air pollution SARS-CoV-2 spread. However, best authors' knowledge, there are still no dealing with Omicron mechanisms. This work represents snapshot what we know right now, frame an analysis paper proposes use single indicator, commercial trade data, model virus It is proposed surrogate interactions occurring between humans (the transmission mechanism due human-to-human contacts) could be considered for other diseases. allows also explain unexpected increase infection cases China, detected at beginning 2023. quality data analyzed evaluate first time role particulate matter (PM) carrier diffusion. Due emerging concerns associated viruses (such smallpox-like Europe America), approach seems promising spreading.

Numerous studies have highlighted the health benefits associated with reducing aerosol particles and other pollutants. Recent shown a positive correlation between exposure to COVID-19 cases. In this study, we investigate relationship particle concentration variants’ infection mortality rates. Remote-sensing data on optical depth (AOD), surrogate for atmospheric levels, were collected analyzed in three regions within states of California, Illinois, North South Carolina. These selected reflect variability anomalies during period (2020–2022) compared reference (2010–2019). We found consistent linear correlations across most rates AOD levels below 0.2. be independent change relative period. Carolina, Delta variant was not only high rate but also steeper increase per 39.6 ± 1.5 (R2 = 0.87) Alpha at 10.5 0.3 0.85). However, due lower has slope 28.3 1 0.94) 52.1 1.8 0.78). No observed Omicron variants any investigated except California where weak evident. Our findings establish compelling link concentrations SARS-CoV-2 mortality. results underscore urgent need further research elucidate underlying mechanisms broader implications, leading more sustainable solutions curb airborne transmission viruses viral infections general.
