The data (used in this study) related to atmospheric pollutants and the COVID-19 pandemic were obtained from online resources (Central control room for air quality management-all India and https ://www.covid 19ind ia.org/ respectively). The concentration of surface atmospheric pollutants from 207 stations of 128 cities distributed all over India (as shown in Fig. 1) were obtained from the website of Central Control Room for Air Quality Management (https ://app.cpcbc cr.com/ccr). However, increasing concentration of atmospheric NO 2 , showed a strong positive correlation with the number of COVID-19 deaths and the COVID-19 CFR in different states of India ( Fig. 2a and b) .	./cache/cord-343100-cljfh8es.txt	./txt/cord-343100-cljfh8es.txt
