Abstract
The novel coronavirus pneumonia, namely COVID-19, has become a global public health problem. To control the spread of COVID-19, various studies have been conducted to explore important factors affecting the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Industrial production contributes to the study of these two paths to improve air quality. Starting from the air pollutants themselves as a risk factor of respiratory tract infections, based on the perspective of environmental protection, this article aims to explore the new path of the relationship between ambient air pollutants and the new coronavirus infection, as well as the additional effects of the closure of the city. The research is based on the daily new confirmed cases, air pollution concentration and meteorological variables in 304 cities in my country from January 23, 2020 to March 5, 2020. The generalized additive model is used to study the relationship between six air pollutants and COVID-19 infection association. This study highlights that there is a significant relationship between air pollution and COVID-19 infection, which can partly to explain the positive impact on the city lockdown in order to control the epidemic when the epidemic breaks for, and explore and improve the path mechanism of the current research.
