2019) and/or the role of high concentrations of fine particulate matter (pm2.5) in modulating or boosting covid-19 prevalence, morbidity and mortality.", "we deem it both reasonable and plausible that high pm2.5 concentrationsfavored by air temperature inversions or saharan dust intrusionsare not only modulating but even more so boosting severe outbreaks of covid-19.", "based on these lines of evidence and select examples presented in the following, we hypothesize that covid-19 prevalence and virulence is linked closely to pm2.5 peaks forming predominantly during (1) the occurrence of air temperature inversions, characterized by rather cool and moist conditions, or (2) desert dust advection conditions characterized by dry and warm air masses."
