Our objective in this paper was to investigate, at a small area level and controlling for socioeconomic and demographic factors, whether long-term exposure to air pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM 10 , coarse particles with a diameter of 10 µm or less) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), increased the risk of COVID-19 incidence and death in Catalonia, Spain. In Tables 2 and 3 we show the estimation results of the GLMM models with which we specified the association between air pollutants and the daily incident positive cases and daily deaths, controlling, in both cases, for socioeconomic and demographic variables, unobserved confounders and the spatial and the temporal dependency. ./cache/cord-338819-wkb318sq.txt ./txt/cord-338819-wkb318sq.txt
