“…99,104−109 Airborne microorganisms, including viral aerosols, bacteria, and fungi, can interact with atmospheric pollutants to form bioaerosols. 110 More than 100 atmospheric pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), organic components, and bioactive metals, have been identified. Due to their small size, PM, particularly finer particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM 2.5 ), penetrates deeply into the body, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis.…”

Enveloped viruses have been the leading causative agents of viral epidemics in the past decade, including the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak. In epidemics caused by enveloped viruses, direct contact is a common route of infection, while indirect transmissions through the environment also contribute to the spread of the disease, although their significance remains controversial. Bridging the knowledge gap regarding the influence of interfacial interactions on the persistence of enveloped viruses in the environment reveals the transmission mechanisms when the virus undergoes mutations and prevents excessive disinfection during viral epidemics. Herein, from the perspective of the driving force, partition efficiency, and viral survivability at interfaces, we summarize the viral and environmental characteristics that affect the environmental transmission of viruses. We expect to provide insights for virus detection, environmental surveillance, and disinfection to limit the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
