“…Considering the fact that approximately 30% of COPD exacerbations are due to viruses, it is important to analyze the correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and AECOPD, especially because the relationship between infection with this virus and AECOPD has already been proven in some studies [76]. Even though the changes in the environment, with all of its elements, are not a source of a novel coronavirus, they can put at a risk the patients who have COPD, making them more susceptible to infection caused by SARS-CoV-2.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the greatest global public health challenges. Acute exacerbations of COPD lead to the accelerated deterioration of lung function, reduced quality of life, a higher number of hospitalizations, and increased mortality. The factor causing the exacerbation is usually an infectious agent, but the impact of environmental factors is being studied more thoroughly. Among them, meteorological factors are the least examined. Multiple studies have shown that lower temperatures during the cold season, as well as sudden temperature changes regardless of the season, have the most significant negative effect on patients with COPD. However, higher temperatures, especially during summer heatwaves, can also cause COPD exacerbation and it is expected that this will be an even more important health problem in the future considering climate changes. The effects of other meteorological factors on acute exacerbation of COPD, such as atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, rainfall, wind speed, and humidity are far less investigated and opposing results have been obtained in different studies. Thus, there is a need for further research in this area that would result in clinical recommendations and public health interventions that could decrease the global burden of COPD.
