Background: Recent studies indicated the possible relationship between climate change, environmental pollution, and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study reviewed effects of air parameters, lockdown on number cases deaths related to COVID-19. Methods: The present review was performed determine weather pollution COVID-19 during lockdown. Articles were collected by searching existing online databases, such as PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, with no limitations publication dates. Afterwards, this focused outdoor including PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3, conditions affecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)/COVID-19. Results: Most investigations in showed that exposure pollutants, particularly PM2.5 is positively patients mortality. Moreover, these could be essential transmitting Local meteorology plays a vital role spread Temperature humidity variables are negatively correlated virus transmission. evidence demonstrated lead These results support decision-makers curbing potential new outbreaks. Conclusions: Overall, perspective-based studies, efforts should accelerated regarding effective policies for reducing human emissions, bringing about change. Therefore, using clean renewable energy sources will increase public health quality improving global quality.

Abstract: Climate change has both direct and indirect effects on human health, some populations are more vulnerable to these than others. Viral respiratory infections most common illnesses in humans, with estimated 17 billion incident globally 2019. Anthropogenic drivers of climate change, chiefly the emission greenhouse gases toxic pollutants from burning fossil fuels, consequential changes temperature, precipitation, frequency extreme weather events have been linked increased susceptibility viral infections. Air like nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, diesel exhaust particles, ozone shown impact immune responses through various mechanisms, including exaggerated or impaired innate adaptive responses, disruption airway epithelial barrier, altered cell surface receptor expression, cytotoxic function. An 90% world's population is exposed air pollution, making this a topic high relevance health. This review summarizes available epidemiologic experimental evidence for an association between infection. Keywords: infection, influenza, syncytial virus, rhinovirus, ozone, matter

In preparation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) in Malaysia, government envisions a path to environmental sustainability and an improvement air quality. Air quality measurements were initiated different backgrounds including urban, suburban, industrial rural detect any significant changes parameters. Due dynamic nature of weather, geographical location anthropogenic sources, many uncertainties must be considered when dealing with pollution data. recent years, Bayesian approach fitting statistical models has gained more popularity due its alternative modelling strategy that accounted all Therefore, this study aims evaluate performance Model Averaging (BMA) predicting next-day PM10 concentration Peninsular Malaysia. A case utilized seventeen years’ worth monitoring data from nine (9) stations located using eight parameters, i.e., PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, temperature, relative humidity wind speed. The performances prediction calculated five models’ evaluators, namely Coefficient Determination (R2), Index Agreement (IA), Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Squared (RMSE) Percentage (MAPE). BMA indicate humidity, speed contributed most model majority (R2 = 0.752 at Pasir Gudang station), 0.749 Larkin 0.703 Kota Bharu 0.696 Kangar station) 0.692 Jerantut respectively. Furthermore, demonstrated good performance, IA ranging 0.84 0.91, R2 0.64 0.75 KGE 0.61 0.74 stations. According results investigation, should utilised research forecasting operations pertaining issues such as pollution. From study, is recommended one tools concentration, especially particulate matter level.

Air quality forecasting is very difficult to achieve in metropolitan areas due to: pollutants emission dynamics, high population density and uncertainty defining meteorological conditions. The use of data, which contain insufficient information within the model training, poor selection be used limits air prediction accuracy. In this study, NO2 concentration made for year 2022 using a long short-term memory network (LSTM) gated recurrent unit (GRU). an improvement terms performance compared traditional methods. Data predictive modeling are obtained from National Quality Monitoring Network. KPIs(key indicator) computed based on testing data subset when predicted values real known values. Further, two additional predictions were performed days outside dataset. not as expected, so, before building models, missing had imputed. LSTM GRU predicting levels similar reasonable with respect case study. pure generalization capabilities, both have maximum R2 value below 0.8. represent powerful architectures time-series prediction. Both highly configurable, so probability identifying best suited solution studied problem consequently high.

As a pandemic hotspot in Japan, between March 1, 2020–October 2022, Tokyo metropolis experienced seven COVID-19 waves. Motivated by the high rate of incidence and mortality during seventh wave, environmental/health challenges we conducted time-series analysis to investigate long-term interaction air quality climate variability with viral Tokyo. Through daily time series geospatial observational pollution/climate data, death cases, this study compared environmental conditions multiwaves. In spite five State Emergency (SOEs) restrictions associated pandemic, (2020–2022) period recorded low improvements relative (2015–2019) average annual values, namely: Aerosol Optical Depth increased 9.13% 2020 year, declined 6.64% 2021, 12.03% 2022; particulate matter PM2.5 PM10 decreased 2020, 2022 years 10.22%, 62.26%, 0.39%, respectively 4.42%, 3.95%, 5.76%. For (2021–2022) ratio PM2.5/PM10 was (0.319 ± 0.1640), showing higher contribution aerosol loading traffic-related coarse particles comparison fine particles. The highest rates cases wave (1 July 2022–1 October 2022) may be attributed accumulation near ground levels pollutants pathogens due to: 1) peculiar persistent atmospheric anticyclonic circulation strong positive anomalies geopotential height at 500 hPa; 2) lower Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) heights; 3) maximum temperature land surface prolonged heat waves (HWs) summer 4) no imposed restrictions. Such findings can guide public decision-makers design proper strategies curb pandemics under stable weather HWs large metropolitan areas.

Heritage buildings are increasingly vulnerable to environmental challenges like air pollution and climate change. Traditional preservation methods primarily rely on periodic inspections manual interventions struggle address these evolving dynamic threats. This systematic review analyzes how integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can transform cultural heritage preservation. Using the PRISMA guidelines, 92 articles from SCOPUS were reviewed, highlighting key risk management monitoring methodologies. The study found that while IoT enables real-time quality structural health monitoring, AI enhances data analysis, providing predictive insights. combination facilitates proactive management, ensuring more resilient conservation strategies. Despite growing use technologies, adoption remains uneven, particularly in regions most impacted by identifies significant research gaps proposes an innovative framework leverages Building Information Modeling (H-BIM) Digital Twin (DT) for continuous maintenance through a multi-step process, beginning with digitalization assets using H-BIM, followed creation digital replicas via DT. By advanced offers adaptive sustainable approach preserving heritage, addressing both immediate threats long-term vulnerabilities. underscores need global, technology-driven response safeguard future generations.
