Overview of Data Synthesis. (A) Correlation coefficients were estimate for: PM2.5 and 10 and C19 Incidence and mortality for * Low green space countries and † High green space countries: Meo [62]; PM2.5 and 10 and C19 Incidence in Akan, Li, Sahoo and Fattorini, Sangkham; PM2.5 and 10 and C19 Prevalence in Zoran, Dragone; PM2.5 and C19 Incidence in Meo § [68], Meo ‖ [59], Meo Δ [60]; Bolano Ortiz; PM2.5 and C19 Prevalence in Semczuk; PM2.5 and C19 Mortality in Beig; PM2.5 and C19 Incidence, Prevalence, Mortality in Meo ¶ [61]; PM2.5 and C19 spread in Rovetta; PM2.5 and C19 Morbidity, Prevalence in Frontera; PM10 and C19 Incidence in Maatoug; PM10 and Mortality in Ghanim; PM10 and C19 Standardized (age) mortality ratio in Dettori. ‡ For studies where more than one city was analyzed, the highest correlation coefficient was plotted. Data grouped by region. (B) Relative risk of a mortality from C19 due to PM exposure and b Incidence of C19 due to PM exposure. Studies are grouped based on regions. (C) Odds ratios of α Hospitalization from C19 due to PM exposure and β Incidence of C19 due to PM exposure. Additional Information provided for relevant articles within each panel description.
