Preventable environmental factors such as exposure to poor air quality are predicted to affect 23% of all global deaths. Although there have been efforts to reduce air pollution through federal guidelines for vehicle and industrial emissions, the air in the United States remains far from clean. Children and pregnant women have been identified as high-risk populations who are particularly susceptible to the negative effects of poor air quality. This paper provides an overview of health concerns related to poor air quality, pediatric considerations from pregnancy through childhood, the importance of increased awareness of air quality assessment and prevention in patient encounters, and current advocacy efforts and legislation.
预计可预防的环境因素，如暴露于空气质量差的环境中，将影响全球所有死亡人数的23%。尽管已经通过联邦车辆和工业排放指南努力减少空气污染，但美国的空气仍远未达到清洁标准。儿童和孕妇已被确定为高危人群，他们特别容易受到空气质量差的负面影响。本文概述了与空气质量差相关的健康问题、从怀孕到儿童期的儿科注意事项、在患者诊疗过程中提高空气质量评估和预防意识的重要性，以及当前的宣传努力和立法情况。
