The paper titled "Revisión rápida: contaminación del aire y morbimortalidad por Covid-19" analyzes the relationship between air pollution and increased morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. The study, which reviewed 450 manuscripts, found that chronic and acute exposure to air pollutants like particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and nitrogen dioxide is associated with higher COVID-19 incidence and mortality. The authors conclude that more studies are needed, particularly in Latin American cities, and recommend stronger pollution control measures in areas with high levels of pollutants​
