Kerbside Particulate Matter and Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection
2022-11-29
Abstract excerpt
Background: Epidemiological studies report an association between traffic-related particulate matter less than 10 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) and COVID-19 morbidity. A putative mechanism is that PM10 upregulates of the host receptor for SARS-CoV-2, angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2). We therefore sought to assess the effect of PM10 on susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro.<br><br>...
