“…Their research area focuses on PM 10 having a positive association with autoimmune diseases, stating a risk of 7% is by an increase in 10 µg/m3. Risk of rheumatoid arthritis, an increase in PM2.5 exposure leads to inflammatory bowel diseases and connective tissue diseases (Adami et al, 2022 ). Air pollution exposure leads to respiratory or chronic diseases and disorders like psychiatric and schizophrenia, and depression.…”

Several hands are now working worldwide to reduce exposure to air pollution, especially in developing nations. Future steps should be determined and classified as possible research solutions and gaps from the massive bulk of research output. Therefore, a scientometric approach has been applied using VOSviewer to show an accurate picture and trend in the mentioned area “Air pollution exposure and health,“ and its signify issues. According to the proposed study, complete 26,859 documents were retrieved from the database (ISI Web of Science) related to air pollution exposure and health effects during 2018–2022. The mapping analysis is been conducted on the country’s collaboration, co-authorship, institutional collaboration, and co-occurrence of keywords. The data collected shows the information about published articles (upward trend) over the years. Based on the citations and publication database, countries like China and the USA play a prominent role in air pollution exposure and health-related research. The study clearly defines the 3 domains of research and 4 major themes that have been currently focused. The case studies related to pollution and its impact on climate and health, studies involving chemical characteristics and management practices, also Hazardous health effects, theme like association of air pollutants, chemical composition and characterization of aerosols, health impacts due to exposure and modelling and analytical approach have been the most researched topics in the past 5 years. The developing and developed countries might potentially change the research network and work structure in order to obtain advancement in the field of Air pollution and enhance measures on exposure and health. The following research attempts to provide insights to the researchers and health sectors by straightening out developments up to date and raveling the research gaps that are needed to be addressed regarding Air pollution health and exposure.

“…In contrast to the risk from silica exposure, the data from the EIRA study and NHS study did not show an association between estimated general exposure to fine particulate matter and the occurrence of RA [ 91 , 92 ]. However, in a nationwide Italian retrospective observational study of 81,363 subjects, a concentration-dependent association was detected between measured fine particulate matter exposure and the occurrence of autoimmune diseases [ 93 ]. The risk of developing RA was increased by exposure to particulate matter with a particle size of 10 µm or less and, even more significantly, to a particle size of 2.5 µm or less.…”

In recent years, a possible association of lifestyle factors with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has attracted increasing public interest. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the extent and the limitations of current evidence regarding lifestyle factors and RA. The PubMed medical database was screened for epidemiological and prospective studies investigating the contribution of lifestyle factors to the development and the course of the disease. Large epidemiological studies have identified smoking, unhealthy diet and adiposity, as well as a low educational level and low socioeconomic status, as factors that increase the incidence of RA. In addition, several lifestyle habits influence the response of RA to antirheumatic drugs. Among others, smoking, obesity and poor physical activity are associated with a worse treatment outcome. Methodological problems often impair firm conclusions with respect to the causal role of these factors in the risk and the course of RA. However, current evidence is sufficient to recommend a healthy diet, the prevention of obesity, the cessation of smoking and the maintenance of a high level of physical activity to support the effectivity of modern antirheumatic medication.

“…Although the idea that pollution contributes to disease is not new, there have been few cases where pollutants have been clearly linked to autoimmunity. However, a recent study following more than 80 thousand Italians showed a strong correlation between large particle (PM10) pollutants in the air and the incidence of RA, but not with psoriatic arthritis, lupus or MS ( 93 ). Here’s how the Danger model would put these data together.…”
