Title: Exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 mortality in the United States

    Snippet: The results of this paper suggest that long-term exposure to air pollution increases vulnerability to experiencing the most severe COVID-19 outcomes. These findings align with the known relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and many of the cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities that dramatically increase the risk of death in COVID-19 patients. They are also consistent with findings that air pollution exposure dramatically increased the risk .....
    Document: The results of this paper suggest that long-term exposure to air pollution increases vulnerability to experiencing the most severe COVID-19 outcomes. These findings align with the known relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and many of the cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities that dramatically increase the risk of death in COVID-19 patients. They are also consistent with findings that air pollution exposure dramatically increased the risk of death during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003, which is caused by another type of coronavirus. 28 This study provides a motive for expanded follow-up investigations as more and higher quality COVID-19 data become available. These would include validating these results in other data sources and study types and studies of biological mechanisms, impacts of PM 2.5 exposure timing, and relationships between PM 2.5 and other COVID-19 outcomes such as hospitalization.
