Air pollution exposure is associated with a higher risk of experiencing severe outcomes from COVID-19 infections, including intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and death, according to new evidence in Nature Communications from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).
In the study from researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), patients who perceived that they had thinking difficulties during COVID-19 infection were also more likely to have lingering physical symptoms than those who did not report thinking issues.
