Up to 15% of all COVID-19 deaths globally may be linked to long-term exposure to air pollution. In addition, 18% of fatalities caused by the virus in the United States are linked to it as well. This means that air pollution may have played a role in roughly 40,000 of the more than 220,000 deaths. If both long-term exposure to air pollution and infection with the COVID-19 virus come together...
