Nonetheless, many peer-reviewed articles have studied these aspects but mostly in isolation; a complete array of coronavirus survival and transmission from an infected individual through airand water-borne channels and its subsequent intractions with environmental factors, surfaces, particulates and chemicals is not comprehensively explored. Finally, this study outlines probable air and water borne routes and suggest a way forward highlighting the need for investigating the effect of particulate matter characteristics on survival and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 due to the prominent presence of PM in ambient, spaces, and on the surfaces. ./cache/cord-282964-dmc8mlxu.txt ./txt/cord-282964-dmc8mlxu.txt
