“…Meteorological factors associated with the spread and severity of COVID-19 have been investigated [ 556 – 558 ] and it appears that poor air quality is associated with worsened health outcomes [ 559 – 563 ]. Air quality can also be related to changes in UV radiation resulting from the pandemic (Sect.…”

This assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) provides the latest scientific update since our most recent comprehensive assessment (Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2019, 18, 595–828). The interactive effects between the stratospheric ozone layer, solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and climate change are presented within the framework of the Montreal Protocol and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We address how these global environmental changes affect the atmosphere and air quality; human health; terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; biogeochemical cycles; and materials used in outdoor construction, solar energy technologies, and fabrics. In many cases, there is a growing influence from changes in seasonality and extreme events due to climate change. Additionally, we assess the transmission and environmental effects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, in the context of linkages with solar UV radiation and the Montreal Protocol.

“…However, it has been also recognized that development of the disease in the respiratory system is associated with the rapid damage of alveolar type II cells (type II pneumocytes) which are responsible for the synthesis of PS. These cells are easily attacked because they have a high expression of ACE2, therefore serve as basic target for SARS-CoV-2 [ 96 ]. As a result, COVID-19 quickly induces PS insufficiency in vivo, that is additionally amplified by surfactant inactivation by products of cell lysis as a common clinical picture of the acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS.…”

The high rate of spreading of COVID-19 is attributed to airborne particles exhaled by infected but often asymptomatic individuals. In this review the role of aerosols in SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus transmission is discussed from the bio-physical perspective. The essential properties of the coronavirus virus transported inside aerosol droplets, their successive inhalation, and size-dependent deposition in the respiratory system are highlighted. The importance of face covers (respirators and masks) in the reduction of aerosol spreading is analyzed. Finally, the discussion of the physicochemical phenomena upon coronavirus enter to surface of lung liquids (bronchial mucus and pulmonary surfactant) is presented with a focus on a possible role of interfacial phenomena in pulmonary alveoli. Information given in this review should be important in understanding the essential biophysical conditions of COVID-19 infection via aerosol route as a prerequisite for effective strategies of respiratory tract protection and, possibly, indications for future treatments of the disease.

“…Aerosol transmission in a relatively closed environment ( Azuma et al, 2020 , Zhao et al, 2020 , Tung et al, 2021 ), such as hospital locals have been confirmed ( Shi et al, 2020 ). In addition, environmental pollution caused by feces and urine aerosols ( Heller et al, 2020 ) or physical contact in toilets ( Hoseinzadeh et al, 2020 , Mehraeen et al, 2020 , Pamplona et al, 2020 ) could pose a major transmission risk. This illustrates the importance of environmental factors in transmission routes.…”
