In the study, the results of which were published in the journal “Cardiovascular Research”, epidemiological data obtained from American and Chinese scientists were examined.
In the study, which recorded that 15% of the fatalities caused by Kovid-19 worldwide are related to air pollution, it was stated that 27% of the deaths from the new type of coronavirus in East Asia are due to air pollution.
In the study, it was stated that this rate is 19% in Europe and 17% in North America.
Prolonged exposure to contaminated particles in the air
The researchers pointed out that there is no direct “cause-and-effect” relationship between Kovid-19 deaths and air pollution, but some of the deaths could be prevented if exposed to less polluted air.
Thomas Munzel of the University of Mainz Medical Center pointed out that when exposure to air pollution and infection caused by Kovid-19 come together, they cause negative effects, especially in terms of the heart and vessels.
In the study, it was noted that prolonged exposure to contaminated particles in the air aggravated symptoms leading to fatal consequences caused by the virus.
