“…These European activities brought together a large consortium of experts from around the world, who were divided into three main areas of the project: air quality, urban growth, natural or manmade disasters and their consequences. The countries representing this consortium are Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Finland, as well as Ukraine, represented by the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the State Space Agency of Ukraine [9], [10].…”

Ukraine is an associate member of the European Union and in the coming years it is expected that all the data and services already used by European Union countries will become available for Ukraine. An important program, which is the basis for building European monitoring services for Smart Cities, is the Copernicus program. The two most important services of this program are Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) and Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). CLMS provides important information on Land Use in Europe. In the context of Smart Cities, the most valuable one is the Urban Atlas service, which is related to local CLMS services and provides a detailed digital city plan in vector form, which is segmented into small functional areas classified by the CORIN nomenclature. The Urban Atlas is a geospatial layer with high-resolution, which is built for all European cities with a population of more than 100,000 that combines high-resolution sat-ellite data, city segmentation by blocks and functional areas, important city infrastructure, etc. This product is used as a basis for city planning and obtaining analytics on the most important indicators of city development including air quality monitoring. For Ukraine, such geospatial products are not provided under the Copernicus program. It is important to start work on its development and implementation as early as possible, so that when the first city atlas appears, Ukraine will be ready to work with it together with the European community. This requires preparing the basis for na-tional research and training national stakeholders and users to use this product. To make this happen it’s necessary to have national geospatial product, which can be used as an analogue of the city atlas. In this article authors analyzed the existing methods of air quality assessment and assessment of the SDG indicator 11.6.2 achieving for European cities, based on which the indicator 11.6.2 for Ukraine for 5 years was evaluated for the first time. The obtained results are analyzed and the values of indicator 11.6.2 for Ukraine are compared with European countries.

“…In our earlier studies, a capability of fine/ultrafine watersuspended plastic and wood smoke PM and different types of micro-and nano-sized particles to interact with the plasma membrane of brain nerve terminals, and so to disturb a plasma membrane integrity and key synaptic characteristics, was shown (Borysov et al 2020;Shelestov et al 2020). It was revealed that water-suspended plastic and wood smoke PM depolarized the plasma membrane (Borysov et al 2020;Shelestov et al 2020), and carbon nano-sized particles from burning organics (the main components of air pollution PM), as well as maghemite nanoparticles affected the membrane integrity, thereby increasing leakage of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, glutamate, and GABA, respectively, and enhancing their ambient levels in nerve terminal preparations (Borisova et al 2015;Borisova et al 2016;Borisova et al 2017;Borisova 2018Borisova , 2019. In particular, maghemite nanoparticles (0.75 mg/ml) did so by 36%, and carbon nanosized particles (1.0 mg/ml) by 47% (Borisova 2019).…”

“…As the central nervous system, and in particular, synaptic transmission are targeted by SARS-CoV-2 (Li et al 2020), its envelope can contain lipid components of the host neuronal membranes. Taking into account that definite types of air pollution PM can interact with the plasma membrane of nerve cells (Borysov et al 2020;Shelestov et al 2020;Borisova et al 2015;Borisova et al 2017;Borisova 2018Borisova , 2019, it can be suggested that SARS-CoV-2 due to presence of neuronal membrane fragments in their envelopes can also interact with PM in water surrounding in a similar way. Air pollution PM and SARS-CoV-2 can form complex in water surrounding, where PM after drying can serve as a carrier for both short-and long-distance transportation of the virus, including outdoor and indoor one.…”

“…It can be hypothesized that definite types of air pollution PM can facilitate SARS-CoV-2 entrance to the cells, when the virus acts as a component of PM complex. Plastic and wood smoke aerosol PM, and especially their carbon components, can be of special attention because they considerably disturb the properties and integrity of the cellular plasma membrane (Borysov et al 2020 ; Shelestov et al 2020 ). Acting as a complex with this PM, SARS-CoV-2 can cross the cellular plasma membranes and reach the cytoplasm avoiding specific ACE2-dependent mechanism of viral transmission.…”

“…Based on our recent studies on interaction of different types of nano- and micro-sized particles, including water-suspended fine and ultrafine smoke aerosol PM, with the plasma membrane of brain nerve terminals, presumably their lipid components (Borysov et al 2020 ; Shelestov et al 2020 ; Borisova 2019 ), we supposed that air pollution PM can interact in water surrounding with envelope of SARS-CoV-2 composed of viral proteins and membrane fragments of infected nerve cells. Arguments in favor of this suggestion were analyzed.…”

Entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is expressed in nasal epithelial cells, and nasal delivery pathway can be a key feature of transmission. Here, a possibility of interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with air pollution particulate matter (PM) was considered. It was shown in our recent studies that water-suspended plastic and wood smoke aerosol PM and carbon-containing nanoparticles from burning organics can interact with the plasma membrane of brain nerve terminals presumably due to their lipid components. COVID-19 patients have neurological symptoms, viral particles were found in the brain, SARS-CoV-2 enters the cells via fusion of lipid viral envelope with the plasma membranes of infected cells, and so viral envelop can contain lipid components of the host neuronal membranes. Therefore, interaction of SARS-CoV-2 envelope with PM is possible in water surrounding. After drying, PM can serve as a carrier for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 immobilized at their surface. Moreover, PM and SARS-CoV-2 per se can enter human organism during nasal inhalation, and they both use the same nose-to-brain delivery pathways moving along axons directly to the brain, influencing the nervous system and exocytosis/endocytosis in nerve cells. Thus, PM can aggravate neurological symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 and vice versa, due to their identical nose-to-brain delivery mechanism and possible interference of neuronal effects. In addition, different types of PM because of their ability to interact with the plasma membranes of nerve cells can facilitate unspecific SARS-CoV-2 entrance to the cells, and can influence envelope features of SARS-CoV-2. Detailed studies are required to analyze interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with PM.
