Adding to the Woes: Heterogeneous Effects of Air Pollution on Pandemic Patients.
Health Econ
January 2025
School of International Trade and Economics, University of International Business and Economics, Beijing, China.
While the direct health impacts of air pollution are widely discussed, its indirect effects, particularly during pandemics, are less explored.
