Abstract

Asian dust is a phenomenon involving the long-range transport of atmospheric pollutants originating from the desert areas of China and Mongolia. In recent years, the health effects of Asian dust have raised public concerns. Numerous studies on the health effects of Asian dust have been published since the last review in 2010. Thus, a literature review was conducted to shed light on the latest epidemiologic findings. PubMed and Science Direct databases were used for the review of epidemiologic studies published between June 2009 and April 2018. We identified 53 epidemiologic studies. Mortality, ambulance transportation, hospitalization/medical examination, changes in symptomatic, functional, and examination findings, as well as birth outcomes have been reported as outcomes. When the outcomes were categorized by disease, the effects of Asian dust on respiratory, cardiovascular, and allergic diseases raised concerns. The common evidences of causation between Asian dust and these diseases were the consistency of findings and temporal sequence of association. As results of research on dose-response relationships have become available, and the possibility that the health effects of Asian dust may vary depending on its chemical composition has been pointed out, further research using the exposure level indicators of Asian dust or its chemical composition should be conducted. Furthermore, with focus on the crucial issue of reducing exposure, research related to prevention and raising awareness should be further promoted.

[亚洲沙尘事件对健康的影响:流行病学证据的文献回顾更新]。
亚洲沙尘是一种现象,涉及来自中国和蒙古沙漠地区的大气污染物的远距离输送。近年来,亚洲粉尘对健康的影响引起了公众的关注。自2010年上次审查以来,已经发表了许多关于亚洲粉尘对健康影响的研究。因此,进行了一项文献综述,以阐明最新的流行病学发现。PubMed和Science Direct数据库用于回顾2009年6月至2018年4月间发表的流行病学研究。我们确定了53项流行病学研究。死亡率、救护车运输、住院/医疗检查、症状、功能和检查结果的变化以及出生结果已被报告为结果。当结果按疾病分类时,亚洲粉尘对呼吸系统疾病、心血管疾病和过敏性疾病的影响引起了关注。亚洲粉尘与这些疾病之间因果关系的共同证据是发现的一致性和关联的时间顺序。由于剂量-反应关系的研究结果已经得到,而且亚洲粉尘对健康的影响可能因其化学成分而异,因此应利用亚洲粉尘或其化学成分的暴露水平指标进行进一步的研究。此外,应进一步促进有关预防和提高认识的研究,重点放在减少接触这一关键问题上。
