Air pollution due to lack of environmental education and death rate from COVID-19

Abstract

The research problem was: how does air pollution due to lack of environmental education influence the growth of the COVID-19 mortality rate?; the research was justified because the analysis of air pollution leads the State to implement more efficient and adequate mechanisms of environmental education to counteract environmental pollution and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. The materials used were bibliographic sources of books and scientific articles; the method was eminently dogmatic, non-experimental, deductive and basic; the result was that air pollution is generated by the lack of environmental education that causes the decrease of the immune system of people, making them prone to mortality by COVID-19. It was concluded that air pollution due to lack of environmental education is the main factor in the increase of the mortality rate.

Keywords: air pollution; environmental education; COVID-19; COVID-19 mortality rate.
