Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the air pollution studies published online from 1995-2020 in Bangladesh. The data of research publications on “air pollution” from the online database were collected with the following search strategy: publications with terms “air pollution,” “air pollutants,” “concentration of particulate matter/aerosol,” or “effects on human health,” “sources of air pollutants” gaseous air pollutants,” and “heavy metals in the air” in their titles for the period of 1995-2020 were collected. The study summarized the characteristics of published documents, the contents and number of citations, and most profiles of authors. This study is based on research on air pollution exposure from relevant sources, such as peer-reviewed articles, proceedings, and national and international reports. In this study, a total of 143 scientific documents were found online. The first publication on air pollution in Bangladesh was revealed in 1995, while the highest number of publications was published in 2019. The years 2018, 2019, and 20 showed a rapid increase in the number of articles published; 15, 19, 16, and 638, respectively. The articles published in the year 2004 received a more significant number of citations (294). In this study, the offline publication has not been counted, and the study covers only the online publication.
