This inequality encompasses inadequate access to safe water, clean air, and wastewater management, as well as limited socioeconomic and educational opportunities. These issues have not received sufficient attention during the pandemic. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of the existing literature on a specific topic, ultimately leading to a conclusion based on the evidence presented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The search methodology for this study involved conducting comprehensive searches of scientific databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, LILACS, and Google Scholar, from 2019 to 2023. The study focused on a specific theme and its relevant aspects related to global environmental health and society. Keywords such as COVID\u201019, inequities, and environmental health were used for searching. Additionally, the Boolean operator \u201cAND\u201d was used to combine these descriptors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Unequal exposure to air pollution has been reported in Africa, as well as in large parts of Asia and Latin America, according to the data that has been obtained. The pandemic has also resulted in a surge in healthcare waste generation, exacerbating the environmental impact of solid waste. Furthermore, there is evidence indicating significant disparities in the severe lack of access to sanitation services between developing nations and low\u2010income regions. The issues related to water availability, accessibility, and quality are subject to debate. It has been reported that SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 is present not only in untreated\/raw water, but also in water bodies that act as reservoirs. Moreover, insufficient education, poverty, and low household income have been identified as the most significant risk factors for COVID\u201019 infection and mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>It is evident that addressing socio\u2010environmental inequality and striving to narrow the gap by prioritizing vulnerable populations are imperative.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.1372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]],"date-time":"2023-06-28T04:15:22Z","timestamp":1687925722000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["COVID\u201019 pandemic and socio\u2010environmental inequality: A narrative review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5608-8422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laleh R.","family":"Kalankesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center Gonabad University of Medical Sciences Gonabad Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7331-4500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zahed","family":"Rezaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center Gonabad University of Medical Sciences Gonabad Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7543-4821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Mohammadpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center Gonabad University of Medical Sciences Gonabad Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0793-1583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahmoud","family":"Taghavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center Gonabad University of Medical Sciences Gonabad Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/itl2.247"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40572-015-0069-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40677-021-00188-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2021.149013"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj-2021-068302","article-title":"Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid\u201019, SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 transmission, and covid\u201019 mortality: systematic review and meta\u2010analysis","volume":"375","author":"Talic S","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"volume-title":"Social Justice and Human Rights as a Framework for Addressing Social Determinants of Health: Final Report of the Task Group on Equity, Equality and Human Rights.
