Prompt Action

It is well-known that atmospheric pollution, first and foremost the particulate matter (PM), causes serious diseases in humans. China’s metropolises and Italy’s Po Valley have in fact achieved a concerning degree of notoriety thanks to runaway air pollution problems. The spread of viral respiratory diseases is facilitated in polluted environments, an example of which is the respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. In this opinion paper, we consider the possible relationship between air pollution, primarily airborne PM10–2.5, and the spread of the novel coronavirus in Northern Italy. If it is true that the novel coronavirus remains active from some hours to several days on various surfaces, it is logical to postulate that the same can occur when it is adsorbed or absorbed by the atmospheric particulate matter, which may also help carry the virus into the human respiratory system. As the Earth presents us with a very high bill to pay, governments and other authorities need to take prompt action to counter excessive pollution levels, both in Italy and in other countries.

The burning of joss paper, incense and papier-mâché objects as offerings during the annual Hungry Ghost Festival months (August and September) results in increases in many elements and ions detected in atmospheric particulate matter (< 2.5 micron) and rain water.

Outdoor air pollution and particulate matter in polluted air are a class ofcarcinogens, and in recent years, atmospheric particulate matter pollution in China has remained at a high level. By reviewing the current situation of atmospheric particulate matter pollution in China and the research on the mechanism of particulate carcinogenesis, analyze the evidence of carcinogenicity of particulate matter in experimental animals in China and the epidemiological clues of particulate carcinogenesis, to explain the relationship between atmospheric particulate matter and cancer, and to propose relevant research in China.

Atmospheric Particulate

This chapter provides an introduction to particulate matter by discussing various ways of categorisation, characterisation and their health effects. The natural and anthropogenic sources of atmospheric particulate matter are discussed. The chapter also introduces qualitatively some aerosol concepts, such as their chemical composition and size distribution. Some examples are provided to illustrate how particulate matter, despite being microscopic particles, can manifest themselves in the atmosphere. Finally, the various pathways by which particulate matter impacts the health system are reviewed along with their interactions to understand concept behind the PM-associated health effects.
