Abstract

Currently, the global COVID‐19 pandemic is not over yet,1 with more than 263.56 million confirmed cases and over 5.23 million deaths to date (December 03, 2021) due to the lack of specific antiviral drugs and coronavirus variants, as well as universal coverage of vaccines. Not only major noncommunicable diseases (mNCDs) including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, and cancer,2 but also major viral infectious diseases (mVIDs),3 such as avian influenza, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Ebola, middle‐east respiratory syndrome (MERS), and COVID‐19, are a heavy burden and challenge facing countries around the world. These diseases not only reduce people's quality of life and life expectancy, but also impede economic and social development and, if not effectively controlled, can lead to social crises.On the one hand, there is a lack of public health awareness and strong measures. On the other hand, unhealthy lifestyles play a crucial role in mNCDs and mVIDs. According to the World Bank,4 air pollution has become the fourth leading cause of death in the world, after premature deaths caused by smoking, unbalanced diets and obesity, and causes global economic losses of nearly $225 billion and social welfare losses of $110 billion to $5 trillion each year.
