Abstract

Abstract The coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 100 million people worldwide with COVID-19, with millions of deaths across the globe. In this research, we explored the effects of environmental and weather variables with daily COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 fatalities in Istanbul, Turkey. Turkey has the 8th highest number of COVID-19 cases globally, with the highest infections and deaths in Istanbul. This may be the first study to conduct a comprehensive investigation for environmental quality (air quality pollutants, e.g., PM2.5 and PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc.), weather parameters (temperature, humidity) and COVID-19 in Turkey. The authors collected meteorological data from 11 March 2020 to 8 February 2021 and COVID-19 data from Istanbul and other regions. The results from empirical estimations, correlation analysis, and quantile on quantile techniques support that air quality and temperature significantly influence COVID-19 deaths in Istanbul. This research may help policymakers and health scientists to take specific measures to reduce the spread of coronavirus across different global cities. The effects of air quality on COVID-19 in Istanbul was investigated. The study applied correlation and quantile on quantile techniques over daily data. Temperature significantly induces the spread of COVID-19 in Istanbul at all quantiles. Air quality and Nitrogen are positively linked with COVID-19 new cases.

环境质量和天气是否会诱发COVID-19:以土耳其伊斯坦布尔为例

冠状病毒大流行已使全球超过1亿人感染COVID-19，全球有数百万人死亡。在这项研究中，我们探讨了环境和天气变量对土耳其伊斯坦布尔每日COVID-19病例和COVID-19死亡人数的影响。土耳其的COVID-19病例数全球排名第八，伊斯坦布尔的感染和死亡人数最多。这可能是土耳其第一个对环境质量(空气质量污染物，如PM2.5和PM10、臭氧、二氧化氮、二氧化硫、一氧化碳等)、天气参数(温度、湿度)和COVID-19进行全面调查的研究。作者收集了2020年3月11日至2021年2月8日的气象数据以及伊斯坦布尔和其他地区的COVID-19数据。经验估计、相关分析和分位数对分位数技术的结果支持空气质量和温度显著影响伊斯坦布尔的COVID-19死亡人数。这项研究可能有助于政策制定者和卫生科学家采取具体措施，减少冠状病毒在全球不同城市的传播。研究伊斯坦布尔空气质量对COVID-19的影响。该研究对日常数据应用了相关和分位数技术。气温显著诱导了2019冠状病毒病在伊斯坦布尔所有分位数的传播。空气质量和氮与COVID-19新病例呈正相关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
