Here’s How Air Pollution is Making the COVID-19 Battle Tougher

The Quint  

One of the recent study, published in Cardiovascular Research estimated that about 15% of deaths worldwide from COVID-19 could be attributed to long-term exposure to air pollution. A study from Italy shows that higher mortality was reported from regions, where air pollution levels were high. Another problem is when one has respiratory symptoms like dry cough or sore throat which can co-exist with allergies, pollution and COVID-19. Though apart from a sore throat, pollution can cause a host of other symptoms like eye infections, headaches, cold, runny nose and postnasal drips where we can rule out COVID infection to some extent.
