Abstract

Air pollution is a key threat to human and ecosystem health. Successfully addressing this problem requires among other measures the active involvement of the population, depending on adequate public awareness and knowledge. This paper reviewed studies on perceptions of outdoor air pollution and behavioral responses in order to synthesize the state-of-the art in this research field and identify key research gaps. Three bibliographic databases were queried for studies published between 2000 and 2021 using standardized search terms. Of 2,616 titles and abstracts screened, 242 articles met the inclusion criteria. Our review revealed a growing interest in this domain of study, while we found a geographical mismatch between countries with poor air quality and those having been intensively researched. Moreover, we identified a lack of qualitative and mixed methods studies. Research also needs to focus more on vulnerable populations, influential subjects and data from online platforms. Among the outcomes investigated by the reviewed studies, there was a dearth of research on perceptions of ecosystem effects of air pollution, the use of air purifiers and relocating as self-protective means and people’s willingness-to-pay for self-protective measures.

对空气污染的风险认知和行为反应:2000-2021 年期间研究的图谱回顾
空气污染是人类和生态系统健康的主要威胁。要成功解决这一问题,除其他措施外,还需要公众的积极参与,这取决于公众是否有足够的认识和知识。本文回顾了有关室外空气污染认知和行为反应的研究,以总结该研究领域的最新进展,并找出关键的研究空白。本文使用标准化检索词对三个文献数据库中 2000 年至 2021 年间发表的研究进行了查询。在筛选出的 2,616 篇标题和摘要中,有 242 篇符合纳入标准。我们的综述显示,人们对这一研究领域的兴趣日益浓厚,但我们发现空气质量差的国家与那些已被深入研究的国家之间存在地域不匹配的问题。此外,我们还发现缺乏定性研究和混合方法研究。研究还需要更多地关注弱势群体、有影响力的研究对象和来自网络平台的数据。在所审查的研究结果中,缺乏对空气污染对生态系统影响的看法、使用空气净化器和搬迁作为自我保护手段以及人们对自我保护措施的支付意愿的研究。

期刊介绍: Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health. It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes. International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals. Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements. This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
