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。
Neither of the studies by Setti’s team have been peer-reviewed and therefore have not been endorsed by independent scientists. But experts agree their proposal is plausible and requires investigation.
