“…It has been reported that severe cases of COVID-19 infection lead to lungs infection, pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, body aches, kidney failure, and death (Zhao et al 2020 ). Most of air quality studies reported that short-term exposure to particulate matter, PM 2.5 can be related to acute lower respiratory infection (Bates et al 2018 ; Li et al 2020 ; Liu et al 2020a ; Martins and Carrilho 2020 ; Tan et al 2019 ; Wu 2019 ). However, not only PM 2.5 , but PM 10 was also found to have a significant relation with hospitalization due to the respiratory illness and pneumonia (Cheng et al 2020 ; Chew et al 2020 ; Ge et al 2018 ; Liu et al 2020b ; Luong et al 2016 ; Mäkelä et al 2019 ; Nephew et al 2020 ; Pun et al 2017 ; De Rooij et al 2019 ; Zhang et al 2019a ).…”

Graphical abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease represents the causative agent with a potentially fatal risk which is having great global human health concern. Earlier studies suggested that air pollutants and meteorological factors were considered as the risk factors for acute respiratory infection, which carries harmful pathogens and affects the immunity. The study intended to explore the correlation between air pollutants, meteorological factors, and the daily reported infected cases caused by novel coronavirus in India. The daily positive infected cases, concentrations of air pollutants, and meteorological factors in 288 districts were collected from January 30, 2020, to April 23, 2020, in India. Spearman’s correlation and generalized additive model (GAM) were applied to investigate the correlations of four air pollutants (PM 2.5 , PM 10 , NO 2 , and SO 2 ) and eight meteorological factors (Temp, DTR, RH, AH, AP, RF, WS, and WD) with COVID-19-infected cases. The study indicated that a 10 μg/m 3 increase during (Lag0-14) in PM 2.5 , PM 10 , and NO 2 resulted in 2.21% (95%CI: 1.13 to 3.29), 2.67% (95% CI: 0.33 to 5.01), and 4.56 (95% CI: 2.22 to 6.90) increase in daily counts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19)-infected cases respectively. However, only 1 unit increase in meteorological factor levels in case of daily mean temperature and DTR during (Lag0-14) associated with 3.78% (95%CI: 1.81 to 5.75) and 1.82% (95% CI: -1.74 to 5.38) rise of COVID-19-infected cases respectively. In addition, SO 2 and relative humidity were negatively associated with COVID-19-infected cases at Lag0-14 with decrease of 7.23% (95% CI: -10.99 to -3.47) and 1.11% (95% CI: -3.45 to 1.23) for SO 2 and for relative humidity respectively. The study recommended that there are significant correlations between air pollutants and meteorological factors with COVID-19-infected cases, which substantially explain the effect of national lockdown and suggested positive implications for control and prevention of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 disease.
