    Snippet: In fact, prolonged exposure to common road transport pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ground level ozone, a by-product of chemical reactions between NOx and volatile organic compounds, can significantly exacerbate cardiovascular morbidity, airway oxidative stress and asthma 7 . Such pollutants can also cause a persistent inflammatory response and increase the risk of infection by viruses that target the respiratory tract. 8, 9 . W.....
    Document: In fact, prolonged exposure to common road transport pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ground level ozone, a by-product of chemical reactions between NOx and volatile organic compounds, can significantly exacerbate cardiovascular morbidity, airway oxidative stress and asthma 7 . Such pollutants can also cause a persistent inflammatory response and increase the risk of infection by viruses that target the respiratory tract. 8, 9 . We therefore addressed whether the infectivity and death rates of COVID-19 in England is linked to air pollution. This hypothesis is supported by observations that the geographical pattern of COVID-19
