Scientific interest in air pollution research is rapidly growing, evidenced by a significant increase in publications and citations. This study analyzes global research trends from 1955-2006, highlighting key countries and influential works in environmental science.

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences
Public, Environmental & Occupational Health

Background:

Rising air pollution levels and awareness of health risks drive new regulations.
Despite extensive research, comprehensive bibliometric data on air pollution is lacking.
This study offers a scientometric analysis of published research on air pollution.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scientometric analysis of scientific literature on air pollution.
To identify trends in publication and citation activity.
To map the global research landscape concerning air pollution.

Main Methods:

Analysis of data from the Web of Science database (1955-2006).
Utilization of density-equalizing mapping and traditional data processing methods.
