Impact and lag effects of meteorology, air pollution and their interaction on HFRS: A case study of cities in Central China

Meteorological factors and air pollutants have a lag effect on the incidence of HFRS. The combined effects of meteorological factors and air pollutants promote the pathogenesis and spread of HFRS. The higher the level of exposure to other studied factors at moderate and high temperatures, the greater the risk of HFRS. Thus, HFRS should be focused on and precautions should be specified in medium and high temperature environments.
