“…[4][5][6][7] Environmental factors, especially air pollution and temperature, have been widely identified to be associated with increasing risk of adverse health outcomes, such as for ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and respiratory infection. [8][9][10][11] Emerging evidence indicates potential links between exposure to polluted air and COVID-19 mortality and fatality. 12,13 Recent epidemiological studies indicated that higher concentrations of pollutants were associated with worse outcome of COVID-19.…”

“…There are some limitations to this study. First, like most case-crossover or time-series studies, we used province-level air pollution to represent the individual-level exposure, which is likely to cause random exposure assessment error, and thus, underestimate the PM-mortality associations [ 64 ]. However, since the same design was applied to the 2020 and 2015–2019 period, this error is not likely to affect our main findings.…”

Background: Limited evidence is available on the health effects of particulate matter (PM including PM2.5 with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm; PM10, ≤ 10 μm; PM2.5–10, 2.5–10 μm) during the pandemic of COVID-19 in Italy. The aims of the study were to examine the associations between all-cause mortality and PM in the pandemic period and compare them to the normal periods (2015–2019). Methods: We collected daily data regarding all-cause mortality (stratified by age and gender), and PM concentrations for 107 Italian provinces from 1 January 2015 to 31 May 2020. A time-stratified case-cross design with the distributed lag non-linear model was used to examine the association between PM and all-cause mortality. We also compared the counts and fractions of death attributable to PM in two periods. Results: Italy saw an increase in daily death counts while slight decreases in PM concentrations in pandemic period. Each 10 µg/m3 increase in PM was associated with much higher increase in daily all-cause mortality during the pandemic period compared to the same months during 2015–2019 (increased mortality rate: 7.24% (95%CI: 4.84%, 9.70%) versus 1.69% (95%CI: 1.12%, 2.25%) for PM2.5; 3.45% (95%CI: 2.58%, 4.34%) versus 1.11% (95%CI: 0.79%, 1.42%) for PM10; 4.25% (95%CI: 2.99%, 5.52%) versus 1.76% (95%CI: 1.14%, 2.38%) for PM2.5–10). The counts and fractions of deaths attributable to PM were higher in 2020 for PM2.5 (attributable death counts: 20,062 versus 3927 per year in 2015–2019; attributable fractions: 10.2% versus 2.4%), PM10 (15,112 versus 3999; 7.7% versus 2.5%), and PM2.5–10 (7193 versus 2303; 3.7% versus 1.4%). Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic increased the vulnerability and excess cases of all-cause mortality associated with short-term exposure to PM2.5, PM2.5–10, and PM10 in Italy, despite a decline in air pollution level.

“…Air pollution, especially ambient particulate matter (PM), is a major environmental problem that can cause adverse health impacts. 2 , 3 Inhaled particles affect the lungs by causing chronic systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage to lung tissues. 4 In addition to depositing in airways, particles can also move into interstitial spaces between alveoli and circulate to other organs, which may be relevant for carcinogenic processes, although the potential mechanisms have not been fully explained.…”

Robust evidence is needed for the hazardous effects of outdoor particulate matter (PM) on mortality and morbidity from all types of cancers. To summarize and meta-analyze the association between PM and cancer, published articles reporting associations between outdoor PM exposure and any type of cancer with individual outcome assessment that provided a risk estimate in cohort studies were identified via systematic searches. Of 3,256 records, 47 studies covering 13 cancer sites (30 for lung cancer, 12 for breast cancer, 11 for other cancers) were included in the quantitative evaluation. The pooled relative risks (RRs) for lung cancer incidence or mortality associated with every 10-μg/m 3 PM 2.5 or PM 10 were 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10–1.23; I 2 = 81%) or 1.22 (95% CI, 1.02–1.45; I 2 = 96%), respectively. Increased but non-significant risks were found for breast cancer. Other cancers were shown to be associated with PM exposure in some studies but not consistently and thus warrant further investigation.
