In this study, meteorological factors, such as relative humidity, air pressure, temperature, and air pollutants such as CO and NO 2 were evaluated to determine their regional impact on the transmission of COVID-19. Exposure to air pollutants has been demonstrated to induce pulmonary oxidative stress, leading to Table 3 Correlation analysis between R 0 and meteorological factors in the low, medium and high flow subgroups. Overall, this study has shown that meteorological factors such as relative humidity, air pressure, temperature, and air pollutants such as CO and NO 2 may affect the transmission of COVID-19, differing among various provinces. The effect of meteorological parameters and air pollutants varies in different Chinese provinces and should be considered in future studies on COVID-19 transmissibility.	./cache/cord-299144-yprqlgju.txt	./txt/cord-299144-yprqlgju.txt
