Can Environmental Exposures Influence COVID-19 Severity?
There is growing evidence that environmental exposures to pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and other toxicants can exacerbate the severity of COVID-19. These pollutants can compromise respiratory health, making individuals more susceptible to severe outcomes from the virus. Toxicology helps in understanding the interactions between these chemical exposures and viral infections, providing insight into vulnerable populations.
