The British scientists<\/a> have been analyzing the corona figures kept by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment<\/a> (RIVM) for all Dutch municipalities. As reported in today’s edition of the Brabants Dagblad<\/a> regional newspaper, they have drawn from this the conclusion that the number of hospital admissions and deaths due to COVID-19 increases in correlation with the amount of particulate matter in the air. The Eindhoven professor Jean-Paul Linnartz had already highlighted the correlation between particulate matter and COVID-19 in a Dutch-spoken podcast<\/a> from Innovation Origins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in April, Innovation Origins also reported<\/a> on a World Bank study<\/a> into the correlation between air pollution and COVID-19. The results show that particulate matter with concentrations of less than 2.5 \u03bcm in diameter is a very significant predictor of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and related hospital admissions. The research was led by Bo Pieter Johannes Andree<\/a> of the Vrije Universiteit<\/a> in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
