Abstract
The work is devoted to the analysis of the latest data on the study of socio-hygienic and environmental consequences, a pandemic in conditions of a high level of atmospheric air pollution, the effect of solid and gaseous components of exhaust gases from automobiles and industry on human health and the environment.The object of the study is the atmospheric air polluted by the viral infection COVID-19. Action to tackle air pollution is particularly relevant in the wake of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, according to research from the Harvard School of Public Health (USA), which Bellona has already written about, as well as reports from European scientists at the University of Siena School of Medicine (Italy). The dependence of health and mortality rates on air quality is a fact repeatedly confirmed. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), currently 9 out of 10 people in the world breathe polluted air, and this leads to 7 million additional deaths annually. WHO officials say that one third of deaths from stroke, lung cancer and heart disease are due to air pollution: “This death is caused by exposure to fine particulate matter 2.5 microns or less (PM 2.5) in diameter, which leads to the development of cardiovascular, respiratory and oncological diseases".
