Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has significant public health implications and a wide range of adverse health effects, including cardiovascular, respiratory, pulmonary, and other health problems. This study aimed to determine the public health impacts of traffic-related air pollution across the world that can be used as an input for protecting human health.
This study considered studies conducted across the world and full-text articles written in English. The articles were searched using a combination of Boolean logic operators (AND, OR, and NOT), MeSH, and keywords from the included electronic databases (SCOPUS, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Google Scholars). The quality assessment of the articles was done using JBI tools to determine the relevance of each included article to the study.
In this study, 1 282 032 participants ranging from 19 to 452 735 were included in 30 articles published from 2010 to 2022. About 4 (13.3%), 9 (30.0%), 12 (40.0%), 8 (26.7%), 2 (6.7%), 15 (50.0%), 3 (10.0%), 3 (10.0%) 1 (3.3%), and 3 (10.0%) of articles reported the association between human health and exposure to CO, PM10, PM2.5, NO, NO, NO, black carbon, O, PAH, and SO, respectively. Respiratory diseases, cancer, cognitive function problems, preterm birth, blood pressure and hypertension, diabetes, allergies and sensitization, coronary heart disease, dementia incidence, and hemorrhagic stroke were associated with exposure to TRAP.
Exposure to nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and fine particulate matter was associated with various health effects. This revealed that there is a need for the concerned organizations to respond appropriately.
交通相关空气污染（TRAP）对公众健康有重大影响，并会引发一系列不良健康效应，包括心血管、呼吸、肺部及其他健康问题。本研究旨在确定全球交通相关空气污染对公众健康的影响，可为保护人类健康提供参考依据。
本研究纳入了全球范围内开展的研究以及用英文撰写的全文文章。通过结合布尔逻辑运算符（AND、OR和NOT）、医学主题词表（MeSH）以及来自包括SCOPUS、PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science、CINAHL和谷歌学术在内的电子数据库的关键词来检索文章。使用JBI工具对文章进行质量评估，以确定每篇纳入文章与本研究的相关性。
本研究纳入了2010年至2022年发表的30篇文章中的1282032名参与者，年龄范围从19岁至452735岁。分别有4篇（13.3%）、9篇（30.0%）、12篇（40.0%）、8篇（26.7%）、2篇（6.7%）、15篇（50.0%）、3篇（10.0%）、3篇（10.0%）、1篇（3.3%）和3篇（10.0%）文章报道了人类健康与接触一氧化碳、可吸入颗粒物（PM10）、细颗粒物（PM2.5）、一氧化氮、二氧化氮、氮氧化物、黑碳、臭氧、多环芳烃和二氧化硫之间的关联。呼吸系统疾病、癌症、认知功能问题、早产、血压和高血压、糖尿病、过敏和致敏、冠心病、痴呆发病率以及出血性中风均与接触交通相关空气污染有关。
接触二氧化氮、氮氧化物、二氧化硫和细颗粒物与多种健康效应相关。这表明相关组织有必要做出适当回应。
