Effects of green space on adverse birth outcomes induced by air pollution
-
Abstract
Air pollution has become one of the most important public health problems worldwide. Exposure to air pollution during pregnancy is one of the important risk factors for adverse birth outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and birth defects. Air pollution control has a long way to go. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to analyze and identify relevant protective factors. Some studies have shown that green space may be a protective factor for the adverse birth outcomes related to air pollution. This kind of research mainly utilizes satellite monitoring data, quantifies the green space coverage level in a certain range of buffer zone centered on the pregnant women's home addresses, and analyzes its mediation effect on the adverse pregnancy outcomes related to air pollution. In this paper we reviewed the use of green space data, the estimated effect of green space mediating the relationship between air pollution and adverse birth outcomes, and its possible mechanisms, aiming to clarify the impact of green space on adverse birth outcomes related to air pollution and provide a scientific basis for public health intervention strategies.
