A case-crossover analysis of short-term PM2.5 exposure and COVID19-related hospitalizations in the National Clinical Cohort Collaborative
Higher concentrations of PM<sub>2.5</sub> are associated with higher risk of COVID19-related hospitalizations. Given the geographic heterogeneity observed, studies exploring factors, such as PM<sub>2.5</sub> exposure, that could explain differences in COVID19 risks may help to understand the COVID19 pandemic and aid in preparing for future ones.
