Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated studies that used the World Health Organization's (WHO) AirQ and AirQ+ tools for air pollution (AP) health risk assessment (HRA) and provided best practice suggestions for future assessments.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive review of studies using WHO's AirQ and AirQ+ tools, searching several databases for relevant articles, reports, and theses from inception to Dec 31, 2022.

Results: We identified 286 studies that met our criteria. The studies were conducted in 69 countries, with most (57%) in Iran, followed by Italy and India (∼8% each). We found that many studies inadequately report air pollution exposure data, its quality, and validity. The decisions concerning the analysed population size, health outcomes of interest, baseline incidence, concentration-response functions, relative risk values, and counterfactual values are often not justified, sufficiently. Many studies lack an uncertainty assessment.

Conclusion: Our review found a number of common shortcomings in the published assessments. We suggest better practices and urge future studies to focus on the quality of input data, its reporting, and associated uncertainties.

空气污染健康风险评估二十年:使用世界卫生组织 AirQ 和 AirQ+ 工具的启示。
目的:我们对使用世界卫生组织(WHO)AirQ 和 AirQ+ 工具进行空气污染健康风险评估(HRA)的研究进行了评估,并为今后的评估提供了最佳实践建议:我们对使用世界卫生组织(WHO)的 AirQ 和 AirQ+ 工具进行空气污染健康风险评估(HRA)的研究进行了评估,并为未来的评估提供了最佳实践建议:我们对使用世界卫生组织 AirQ 和 AirQ+ 工具的研究进行了全面审查,在多个数据库中搜索了从开始到 2022 年 12 月 31 日的相关文章、报告和论文:结果:我们确定了 286 项符合标准的研究。这些研究在 69 个国家进行,其中大多数(57%)在伊朗,其次是意大利和印度(各占 8%)。我们发现,许多研究没有充分报告空气污染暴露数据、其质量和有效性。有关分析人群规模、相关健康结果、基线发病率、浓度-反应函数、相对风险值和反事实值的决定往往没有充分说明理由。许多研究缺乏不确定性评估:我们的审查发现,已发表的评估报告中存在许多共同的缺点。我们建议采取更好的做法,并敦促今后的研究重点关注输入数据的质量、其报告以及相关的不确定性。
