Toxic air pollutants are one of the main factors that have the effect of synergism to increase the incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS). This review aims to investigate the effects of toxic air pollutants on the occurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS). A narrative review of the literature was done from 2000 to 2022 based on various databases such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, Springer, PubMed, and Science Direct. In this study, according to the databases, three hundred and sixty articles were retrieved. Of these, 28 studies were screened after review and 14 full-text articles entered into the analysis process. Finally, 9 articles were selected in this study. According to the finding of this study, toxic air pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals (HM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), and gases are the main agents that cause the development and spread of chronic diseases such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and multiple sclerosis. The result of this study showed that the main sources of emission of toxic air pollutants include industries, cars, power plants, and the excessive consumption of fossil fuels. In general, the inhalation of high concentration of toxic air pollutants can increase the risk of chronic diseases and multiple sclerosis.
有毒空气污染物是导致多发性硬化症（MS）发病率增加的协同作用的主要因素之一。本综述旨在探讨有毒空气污染物对多发性硬化症（MS）发生的影响。根据 Google Scholar、Web of Science、Springer、PubMed 和 Science Direct 等各种数据库，对 2000 年至 2022 年的文献进行了叙述性综述。在这项研究中，根据数据库检索到 360 篇文章。经过筛选，有 28 篇研究符合要求，其中 14 篇全文文章进入分析过程。最后，本研究共选择了 9 篇文章。根据本研究的发现，有毒空气污染物包括多环芳烃（PAHs）、重金属（HM）、挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）、颗粒物（PM）和气体，是导致呼吸和心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）和多发性硬化症等慢性病发展和传播的主要因素。研究结果表明，有毒空气污染物的主要排放源包括工业、汽车、发电厂和化石燃料的过度消耗。总的来说，吸入高浓度的有毒空气污染物会增加患慢性病和多发性硬化症的风险。
