Current Update on Air Pollution or Quality and Meteorological Variables: A Review and Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the existing understanding of air pollution and meteorological variables, with the goal of identifying and assessing research patterns, areas where research is lacking, and variables that are important for air pollution research. The Scopus Database is utilized as a data source, specifically searching for literature published in the last 10 years using keywords "Air pollution" or "Air quality" and "Meteorological variables". The study utilizes VOSviewer software to examine the data, emphasizing noteworthy trends in research on air pollution and climatic factors. The study produced a map and analysis of the expansion in scholarly publication concerning the above themes and it identified four significant clusters. The study also identified statistical models, tools, and sophisticated modeling methodologies utilized for both subjects. The analysis focuses on current patterns, areas of study that need attention, and factors that influence air pollution research. It offers a valuable understanding of the relationship between air pollution, meteorological variables, and their impact on public health. This study enhances our comprehension of the complexity of air pollution and meteorological factors, underscoring the significance of data-driven analysis, modeling methodologies, and interdisciplinary approaches in tackling environmental concerns.
