ABSTRACT

Objective. To analyze the association of the concentration of atmospheric pollutants in the epidemiological indicators of Covid-19 in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM). Materials and methods. An ecological epidemiological study was designed. Poisson-type linear models were used for counting variables and random effects linear models in continuous variables, to quantify the association between atmospheric pollutants and Covid-19 indicators. The data were obtained in the period from February 28, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The pollutants exposure was stratified by weather seasons. Results. The pollutants that had a significant association with indicators of morbidity and mortality were CO, NO,X, 3X and PM10. In the cold-dry season, CO and NOX influenced daily confirmed cases and daily deaths. PM10 had effect on the indicators of daily confirmed cases, daily incidence, percentage of inpatients, mortality rate and fatality rate. Conclusions. The results suggest an association between the epidemiological behavior of Covid-19 and exposure to CO, NOX, O3 and PM10, finding a greater effect in the cold-dry season in the ZMVM.
