Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how meteorological factors like temperature and humidity influence COVID-19 transmission across 439 cities from February 2020 to August 2022.
- Researchers found that lower temperatures (5 °C) significantly increase the risk of COVID-19 incidents compared to moderate temperatures (17 °C), with absolute humidity showing an inverse relationship.
- The analysis revealed no significant interaction between vaccination rates or variants and the effects of weather on COVID-19 transmission, reinforcing the importance of environmental factors in understanding the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how daily rainfall characteristics—like intensity, duration, and frequency—affect mortality rates from all causes, cardiovascular issues, and respiratory problems across 34 countries from 1980 to 2020.
- It utilizes a time series analysis to evaluate the association between daily mortality and rainfall events that occur at different return periods (one, two, and five years), including the effects of extreme rainfall with a 14-day lag.
- The results indicate that extreme rainfall events (five-year return period) correlate with increased mortality rates, particularly for respiratory cases, while moderate rainfall shows protective effects, and the impact varies based on climate and vegetation.
Health and Economic Impacts Assessment of O Exposure in Mexico.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
November 2021
Health effects related to exposure to air pollution such as ozone (O) have been documented. The World Health Organization has recommended the use of the Sum of O Means Over 35 ppb (SOMO35) to perform Health Impact Assessments (HIA) for long-term exposure to O. We estimated the avoidable mortality associated with long-term exposure to tropospheric O in 14 cities in Mexico using information for 2015.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To analyze the evidence on the relationship between air pollution and an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from Covid-19.
Materials And Methods: An adaptation of the Cochrane rapid review methodology was used. The search was performed in PubMed and MedRxiv and was limited until April 28 and 26, respectively.
Background: Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p´-DDE), the main metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), has been associated with changes in human thyroid hormone levels. Maternal thyroid hormones are essential for adequate fetal neurodevelopment during the first half of pregnancy.
Objective: To evaluate the association between maternal p,p´-DDE concentration and the maternal thyroid profile during the first half of pregnancy.
