Study Links Air Pollution To Higher COVID-19 Death Rates
People with coronavirus and its disease are more likely to die if they live in areas with high air pollution, according to a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The study looked at 3,080 United States counties, comparing levels of PM2.5—fine particulate matter produced by burning fossil fuels—and coronavirus deaths in each area. A person living in a county with high levels of PM2.5 in the air is 15% more likely to die from COVID-19 than a person living in a county with minimal levels of such pollution, according to the study.
Lower levels of vehicle traffic due to social-distancing measures have produced the best air quality in decades in many countries.

In fact, the traditional remarketing process can wreak havoc on a vehicle’s total cost of ownership as fleets wait weeks - and sometimes even months - to get paid after an off-lease vehicle is finally sold.
