Air Pollution and Meteorological Parameters in SARS-CoV-2 Virus Spread and Transition

The purpose of this small study is to evaluate the meteorological parameters and air pollutants on the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in urban areas to identify conditions that can prevent or prevent future infection waves. According to studies, all meteorological parameters are significantly associated with SARS-CoV-2 cases. (Temperature, mainly affects solar radiation, UV Index (UVI), and wind speed) as well as air pollution parameters (Especially O3, SO2, and CO), but to a lesser extent. CO, SO2, and NO2 (mobility markers that refer to human interaction) it was reported all year round. It can be inferred that meteorological phenomena mainly affect the virus, both in its spread and inactivation: High relative humidity, low temperatures, low solar radiation, and low Wind speed can cause the virus to persist in the air, then, cold and dry rainy seasons can be dangerous for people who are outdoors. CO, SO2 and NO2 can be used to predict and reduce infections in the new wave of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Adequate outdoor face masks should be considered to prevent inhalation of air pollutants and SARS-CoV-2.
