The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is a major Public Health problem that is influenced by a number of factors. Recently it has been hypothesized that this transmission may be reduced during the summer due to the warm temperatures. On the other hand, the potential association between the high number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and air pollution is being studied. This relationship was already proven during the SARS outbreak in 2002. This article reviewed the scientific evidence to date regarding the possible influence of environmental temperature and air pollution on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. It is concluded that the annual seasons and, therefore, the temperature do not seem to influence the spread of the virus. In addition, air pollutants facilitate infection and mortality from the virus.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的传播是一个受多种因素影响的重大公共卫生问题。最近有假设认为，由于气温较高，这种传播在夏季可能会减少。另一方面，正在研究SARS-CoV-2感染数量众多与空气污染之间的潜在关联。这种关系在2002年非典疫情期间就已得到证实。本文回顾了迄今为止关于环境温度和空气污染对SARS-CoV-2传播可能产生影响的科学证据。得出的结论是，年度季节以及温度似乎并不会影响病毒的传播。此外，空气污染物会促进该病毒的感染和致死率。
