Corona infected patients affected
Harvard University has done a study on how air pollution will affect Corona infected patients.

PM 2.5 is very fine particles which enter our body through the breath and people become ill due to increasing level of PM 2.5 in the air.
According to a Harvard study, the probability of death of Kovid 19 patients living in areas with more air pollution is more than the patients living in areas with less air pollution.
- For the first time, this study shows a direct correlation between the level of air pollution and the death of Kovid 19 patients.
