Resumo
A associação positiva entre poluição atmosférica e COVID-19 tem sido confirmada por pesquisadores ao redor do mundo, sobretudo em localidades poluídas. A exposição de longo prazo à poluição atmosférica foi associada a maior gravidade da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. As medidas de afastamento social fizeram com que os níveis de poluentes atmosféricos caíssem de forma drástica. Além disso, a exposição à poluição intradomiciliar também foi relacionada à COVID-19. Os pobres, incluindo refugiados e trabalhadores migrantes que ficam em condições frágeis, são os mais vulneráveis. Como consequência da pandemia, muitas pessoas permanecem em ambientes fechados, sobretudo os indivíduos de risco (idosos, diabéticos, obesos, cardiopatas e pneumopatas crônicos). O isolamento domiciliar em ambiente com ventilação inadequada poderá determinar, nessas populações, outros problemas de saúde. A queima de biomassa e do tabaco no interior dos domicílios são fontes importantes de poluentes. Portanto, é essencial entender as consequências da relação entre a poluição intradomiciliar e a doença pandêmica COVID-19.

Abstract
A positive association between air pollution and COVID-19 has been confirmed by researchers around the world, especially in polluted locations. Long-term exposure to air pollution was associated with greater severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Social withdrawal measures caused the levels of air pollutants to drop dramatically. In addition, exposure to indoor air pollution was also related to COVID-19. The poor, including refugees and migrant workers who are in fragile conditions, are the most vulnerable. As a consequence of the pandemic, many people remain indoors, especially at-risk individuals (older, diabetic, obese, cardiac, and chronic lung disease patients). Home isolation in an environment with inadequate ventilation may determine other health problems in these populations. Burning biomass and tobacco are important sources of household air pollutants. Therefore, it is essential to understand the consequences of the relationship between indoor air pollution and COVID-19.
