In recent years, the study of air pollution has received increasing attention from researchers, but a summary of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and air pollution is missed. Through combing the documents in the core dataset of Web of Science, this study analyzes current research based on specific keywords. CiteSpace and VOSviewer perform statistical analysis of measurement metrics to visualize a network of relevant content elements. The research devotes discussion to the relationship between air pollution and AD. Keyword hotspots include AD, children, oxidative stress, and system inflammation. Overall, 304 documents on air pollution and AD from 2013 to 2023 were retrieved from Web of Science. One hundred twenty-two journals published relevant articles, and the number of articles has increased gradually since the past decade. Research and development in AD and air pollution are progressing rapidly, but there is still a need for more connections with multidisciplinary technologies to explore cutting-edge hotspots.
