This study endeavors to explain the relation between air pollution andparticulate compounds emissions, wind resources and energy, and the diffusionof COVID-19 infection to provide insights of sustainable policy to preventfuture epidemics. The statistical analysis here focuses on case study of Italy,one of the countries to experience a rapid increase in confirmed cases anddeaths. Results reveal two main findings: 1) cities in regions with high windspeed and a high wind energy production in MW have a lower number of infectedindividuals of COVID-19 infection and total deaths; 2) cities located inhinterland zones (mostly those bordering large urban conurbations) with highpolluting industrialization, low wind speed and less cleaner production have agreater number of infected individuals and total deaths. Hence, cities withpollution industrialization and low renewable energy have also to consider lowwind speed and other climatological factors that can increase stagnation of theair in the atmosphere with potential problems for public health in the presenceof viral agents. Results here suggest that current pandemic of Coronavirusdisease and future epidemics similar to COVID-19 infection cannot be solvedonly with research and practice of medicine, immunology and microbiology butalso with a proactive strategy directed to interventions for a sustainabledevelopment. Overall, then, this study has to conclude that a strategy toprevent future epidemics similar to COVID-19 infection must also be based onsustainability science to support a higher level of renewable energy andcleaner production to reduce polluting industrialization and, as result, thefactors determining the spread of coronavirus disease and other infections insociety.

How sustainable environments have reduced the diffusion of coronavirus  disease 2019: the interaction between spread of COVID-19 infection, polluting  industrialization, wind (renewable) energy
