To achieve this, we analyzed epidemiological data for 14 respiratory viruses detected in nasal washing samples and mean weekly data for weather conditions (temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity) along with air pollutant concentrations from the regional agency for environmental protection (ARPA) network (http://www.arpalazio.net/ main/aria/doc/pubblicazioni). In this prospective study enrolling infants hospitalized for acute viral bronchiolitis during 10 seasonal epidemics in Rome, Italy we found a strong correlation between peak RSV activity (but not peak activity for the other 13 viruses investigated) and cold temperatures, higher relative humidity and air pollutants, especially benzene.	./cache/cord-277425-ttfmm946.txt	./txt/cord-277425-ttfmm946.txt
