由新型冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2引起的2019年冠状病毒大流行(新冠肺炎)正在全球造成大量死亡。解释空气污染如何影响新冠肺炎大流行对公众健康的影响，是当前环境科学领域的问题之一。这里的研究集中在意大利的一个案例研究上。结果表明，新冠肺炎在空气污染水平较高的城市的传播正在导致更多与新冠肺炎相关的感染人数和死亡人数。特别是，结果显示，每年超过PM10或臭氧限值100天以上的城市、位于内陆地区(即远离海岸)的城市、平均风速较低的城市和平均气温较低的城市，感染人数较高。在空气污染水平较高，再加上风速较低的内陆城市，2020年4月--也就是新冠肺炎疫情第一波期间--的平均感染人数是空气污染水平较低城市的三倍多。此外，结果显示，意大利第一波新冠肺炎疫情中，超过75%的感染者和约81%的死亡病例位于空气污染水平较高的工业化地区。尽管2020年2月至8月第一波新冠肺炎的这些重要成果，政策制定者在规划有效的危机管理政策回应以应对新冠肺炎大流行方面的组织能力很低，这场大流行正在产生反复出现的冲击波，对公共卫生，当然还有经济体系再次产生似曾相识的负面影响。
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is generating a high number of deaths worldwide. One of the current questions in the field of environmental science is to explain how air pollution can affect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on public health. The research here focuses on a case study of Italy. Results suggest that the diffusion of COVID-19 in cities with high levels of air pollution is generating higher numbers of COVID-19 related infected individuals and deaths. In particular, results reveal that the number of infected people was higher in cities with more than 100 days per year exceeding limits set for PM10 or ozone, cities located in hinterland zones (i.e. away from the coast), cities having a low average speed of wind and cities with a lower average temperature. In hinterland cities having a high level of air pollution, coupled with low wind speed, the average number of infected people in April 2020—during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic—is more than tripled compared to cities with low levels of air pollution. In addition, results show that more than 75% of infected individuals and about 81% of deaths of the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Italy are in industrialized regions with high levels of air pollution. Although these vital results of the first wave of the COVID-19 from February to August 2020, policymakers have had a low organizational capacity to plan effective policy responses for crisis management to cope with COVID-19 pandemic that is generating recurring waves with again negative effects, déjà vu, on public health and of course economic systems.
