Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is one of the major sources of exposure in urban areas and has been associated with a wide range of adverse human health effects. Much of the Canadian population is regularly exposed to TRAP as a result of daily activities (e.g., commuting) and a significant portion of the population resides in close proximity to major roadways. The objective of this scoping review is to develop an evidence map of the epidemiological literature of the human health effects of exposure to TRAP, to support future reviews and assessments by Health Canada.
Literature searches will be conducted in Ovid EMBASE and Ovid MEDLINE database. DistillerSR will be used to manage the review process. Two reviewers will independently screen the studies in a two-part process (title and abstract; full text) for eligibility. Epidemiological studies and reviews will be included if they report on the human health effects of exposure to TRAP. Data collection will include study design parameters and human health outcomes evaluated in the study. A descriptive analysis will be used to provide a high-level summary of the number of studies evaluating the different types of health effects and cross-tabulations by study design parameters.
The scoping review will be used to identify subject areas for more detailed review and evaluation of the human health effects of TRAP by the Air Health Effects Assessment Division of Health Canada.
交通相关的空气污染(TRAP)是城市地区主要的暴露源之一,与广泛的不良人类健康影响有关。由于日常活动(例如通勤),加拿大的大部分人口经常受到 TRAP 的暴露,而很大一部分人口居住在主要道路附近。本范围综述的目的是制作一份交通相关空气污染暴露对人类健康影响的流行病学文献证据图谱,以支持加拿大卫生部未来的审查和评估。
将在 Ovid EMBASE 和 Ovid MEDLINE 数据库中进行文献检索。DistillerSR 将用于管理审查过程。两名审查员将独立地通过两步过程(标题和摘要;全文)筛选研究的资格。如果研究报告了 TRAP 暴露对人类健康的影响,则将纳入流行病学研究和综述。数据收集将包括研究设计参数和研究中评估的人类健康结果。描述性分析将用于提供评估不同类型健康影响的研究数量的高级别摘要,并按研究设计参数进行交叉制表。
本范围综述将用于确定更详细审查和评估加拿大卫生部空气健康影响评估司 TRAP 对人类健康影响的主题领域。
