Air pollution is being shown to play an increasing causation role in our most common skin diseases. Acne, hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis have been shown to be influenced by air pollution. It is important for pollution to be added as a risk factor for these skin disorders, and thus we must discuss mitigating its negative affects with patients. Air pollution is the contamination of outdoor (ambient) and indoor (household) environments by any chemical, physical, or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Nearly all (90%) of the world's population experience daily pollution. In 2019, air pollution was considered by the World Health Organization to be the biggest environmental health risk to humans, responsible for killing more than 7 million people prematurely every year. Preliminary studies link air pollution to COVID-19 deaths, as there were high death tolls in some of the most globally polluted areas. Air pollution affects many organ systems such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous, reproductive, and integumentary systems. In this study, we detail the current evidence linking specific skin and health disorders to air pollution.
空气污染在我们最常见的皮肤病中所起的致病作用越来越大。痤疮、色素沉着、特应性皮炎和牛皮癣已被证明会受到空气污染的影响。将污染作为这些皮肤疾病的一个风险因素是很重要的，因此我们必须与患者讨论减轻其负面影响的方法。空气污染是指室外（环境）和室内（家庭）环境被任何改变大气自然特性的化学、物理或生物制剂污染。世界上几乎所有（90%）的人口每天都受到污染影响。2019年，世界卫生组织认为空气污染是对人类最大的环境健康风险，每年导致超过700万人过早死亡。初步研究将空气污染与新冠死亡病例联系起来，因为在一些全球污染最严重的地区死亡人数很高。空气污染会影响许多器官系统，如心血管系统、肺部、中枢神经系统、生殖系统和皮肤系统。在本研究中，我们详细阐述了将特定皮肤和健康疾病与空气污染联系起来的现有证据。
