The findings showed that acute concentrations of fine particles, especially those smaller than 2.5 micrometres, cause inflammation of the respiratory, pulmonary and cardiovascular tracts and thicken the blood. "In combination with a viral infection, these inflammatory factors can lead to a serious progression of the disease. Inflammation also promotes the attachment of the virus to cells," Rohrer said.

Nonetheless, the researchers also emphasize that, although particulate matter pollution can influence the virulence of the virus and possible severe disease progression, physiological, social or economic factors will clearly also influence the further course of the pandemic.

"This study offers the possibility of taking preventive measures in the event of future increases in fine particulate matter concentrations, thus limiting a new flare-up of Covid-19 morbidity and mortality," the team noted.
