Airborne PM<sub>2.5</sub> and the Emergence of 10 SARS-CoV-2 Variants The Multifaceted Influence of an Airborne Pollutant on Viral Natural Selection determining SARS-CoV-2 Evolution - An Environmental Wake-up Call or an Ecological Fallacy?

2021-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Airborne particulate matter has been suggested as a co-factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Besides the deleterious effect this pollutant has on pulmonary immunity and the propagation of respiratory ACE-2 receptors (angiotensin converting enzyme II), the SARS-CoV-2’s point of entry, particulate matter has also been proposed as a vector for this virus’ transmission. Particulate matter may also be a...
