  • Air pollution is forcing the UK government back to court for the seventh time.

    The environmental legal group ClientEarth says minsters failed to conduct their recent public consultation on clean air properly.

    It also says the government's pollution plans for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are far too vague.

    A government spokesman said ministers were committed to improving air quality.

Methods A retrospective study is conducted to study whether air quality index (AQI), four ambient air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and CO) and five meteorological variables (daily temperature, highest temperature, lowest temperature, temperature difference and sunshine duration) could increase COVID-19 incidence in Wuhan and XiaoGan between Jan 26th to Feb 29th in 2020.

    • Association between short-term exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 infection: Evidence from China Author links open overlay panelYongjianZhuaJinguiXiebcFengmingHuangbLiqingCaob Show more https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138704 Abstract The novel coronavirus pneumonia, namely COVID-19, has become a global public health problem. Previous studies have found that air pollution is a risk factor for respiratory infection by carrying microorganisms and affecting body's immunity. This study aimed to explore the relationship between ambient air pollutants and the infection caused by the novel coronavirus. Daily confirmed cases, air pollution concentration and meteorological variables in 120 cities were obtained from January 23, 2020 to February 29, 2020 in China. We applied a generalized additive model to investigate the associations of six air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, NO2 and O3) with COVID-19 confirmed cases.
