Different effects of air pollutant concentrations on influenza A and B in Sichuan, China
The findings from the overall population and subgroup analyses indicated that the impact of air pollutant concentrations on influenza A and B is inconsistent, with influenza A demonstrating greater susceptibility to these pollutants. Minimizing the levels of SO<sub>2</sub>, CO, NO<sub>2</sub>, and PM<sub>2.5</sub> can significantly decrease the likelihood of contracting influenza A. Analyzing the influence of environmental contaminants on different influenza subtypes can provide insights into seasonal influenza trends and guide the development of preventive and control strategies.
