An Imperative Need for Research on the Role of Environmental Factors in Transmission of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Qu, G., Li, X., Hu, L., & Jiang, G. Environmental Science and Technology, 54(7):3730-3732, 2020.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Short review discussing research needed to improve understanding of COVID-19 transmission. They discuss studies demonstrating environmental survival, including several studies demonstrating coronavirus survival in water for days to weeks. Mention the potential for aerosolised sewage to spread COVID-19. There is a need to understand the adsorption of the virus onto various forms of particulate matter, as these could become a means of long-distance transport of the virus in some places. There is also a higher incidence of pre-existing lung problems in areas with higher levels of air pollution.
