Leonardo Setti at the University of Bologna in Italy, who led the work, said it was important to investigate if the virus could be carried more widely by air pollution.
意大利博洛尼亚大学的莱昂纳多·塞蒂是这项研究的负责人。他说,研究新冠病毒能否通过空气污染更广泛地传播是很重要的。
“I am a scientist and I am worried when I don’t know,” he said. “If we know, we can find a solution. But if we don’t know, we can only suffer the consequences.”
他说:“我是一名科学家,当我不知道答案的时候,我会很担心。如果我们知道,我们就能找到解决办法。但如果我们不知道,我们只能承受后果。”
Two other research groups have suggested air pollution particles could help coronavirus travel further in the air.
另外两个研究小组指出,空气污染颗粒可能有助于新冠病毒在空气中传播得更远。
A statistical analysis by Setti’s team suggests higher levels of particle pollution could explain higher rates of infection in parts of northern Italy before a lockdown was imposed, an idea supported by another preliminary analysis. The region is one of the most polluted in Europe.
塞蒂研究团队的一项统计分析显示,意大利北部的部分地区是欧洲空气污染最严重的地区之一,在实施封锁措施之前,这些地区的大气颗粒物污染水平较高,而那里的新冠病毒感染率也较高。另一项初步分析研究也支持了这一发现。
