cord-293732-rxd1lyi7	Manoj, M.G.	Potential link between compromised air quality and transmission of the novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) in affected areas	2020-08-01		.txt	text/plain	4180	210	49	Through a critical review of the current literature and a preliminary analysis of the link between SARS-CoV-2 transmission and air pollution in the affected regions, we offer a perspective that polluted environment could enhance the transmission rate of such deadly viruses under moderate-to-high humidity conditions. The aqueous atmospheric aerosols offer a conducive surface for adsorption/absorption of organic molecules and viruses onto them, facilitating a pathway for higher rate of transmission under favourable environmental conditions. Analysis of the air quality index (AQI, Fig. S1 , acquired on 16 th March 2020) reveals that the effected countries or regions had witnessed enhanced level of pollution ( frequently AQI > 100) which are qualified as "unhealthy" and even "hazardous", in the cold winter period. (2020) reports that air pollutants measured over Italy (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ) have a substantial influence on the COVID-19 transmission and infection rate there.	./cache/cord-293732-rxd1lyi7.txt	./txt/cord-293732-rxd1lyi7.txt
