Exploration of the impact of air pollutants on the influenza epidemic after the emergence of COVID-19: based on Jiangsu Province, China (2020–2024)
Air pollutant impacts on influenza transmission are age-dependent: NO<sub>2</sub> dominates in younger populations, whereas SO<sub>2</sub> disproportionately affects older adults. These findings highlight age-related vulnerability to air pollution and the need for targeted public health strategies for different population subgroups.
