Uh, interesting, do you have a source?

Unfortunately it's italian only. It's from an italian NPO (http://www.simaonlus.it/). To be honest, the research is not so rigorous, but it's a first step.

Check the graph at page 4. On the y-axis you can see the log of the number of (confirmed) cases, on the x-axis there's a variable they use as a proxy of air pollution (this is what doesn't fully convince me to be honest).
