Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel coronavirus, results in an acute respiratory condition coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is highly infectious. The recent spread of this virus has a global pandemic. Currently, transmission routes SARS-CoV-2 are being established, especially role environmental transmission. Here we review persistence SARS-CoV-2. Recent studies have established that may occur, amongst others, air, water, soil, cold-chain, biota, surface contact. It also been found survival potential dependent on different conditions pollution. Potentially important pathways include aerosol fecal matter. Particulate matter be carrier for Since microscopic particles can easily absorbed humans, more attention must focused dissemination these particles. These considerations required to evolve theoretical platform epidemic control minimize threat from future epidemics.

Impacts of exposure to air pollution, radon and climate drivers on the COVID-19 pandemic in Bucharest, Romania: A time series study

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 212, С. 113437 - 113437

Опубликована: Май 18, 2022

During the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic disease, like several countries, Romania experienced a multiwaves pattern over more than two years. The spreading of SARS-CoV-2 pathogens in Bucharest, capital is multi-factorial process involving among other factors outdoor environmental variables and viral inactivation. Through descriptive statistics cross-correlation analysis applied to daily time series observational geospatial data, this study aims evaluate synergy incidence lethality with air pollution radon under different climate conditions, which may exacerbate coronavirus' effect on human health. entire analyzed period 1 January 2020-21 December 2021, for each four waves were recorded anomalous anticyclonic synoptic meteorological patterns mid-troposphere, favorable stability conditions during fall-early winter seasons disease fast-spreading, mostly second, fourth waves. As temporal airborne its mutagen variants affected by seasonal variability main pollutants parameters, paper found: 1) exposures (particulate matter PM2.5 PM10, nitrogen dioxide-NO2, sulfur dioxide-SO2, carbon monoxide-CO) - 222Rn, are directly correlated mortality, contribute spread severity pandemic; 2) ground ozone-O3 levels, temperature, Planetary Boundary Layer height, surface solar irradiance anticorrelated new deaths, averageingful spring-summer periods. Outdoor exposure ambient associated non-negligible driver transmission large metropolitan areas, risk infection. findings provide useful information public health authorities decision-makers develop future diseases strategies high polluted environments.

The spread of the omicron variant: Identification of knowledge gaps, virus diffusion modelling, and future research needs

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 225, С. 115612 - 115612

Опубликована: Март 5, 2023

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.
