雾霾污染与人体健康

Haze/Fog and human health:a literature review

近年来,中国多次爆发大面积的雾霾事件,雾霾对健康的影响引起了广泛的社会关注。PM2.5污染是导致雾霾的根本原因,从PM2.5及其化学成分对呼吸系统、心血管系统、癌症、生殖与神经系统的影响出发,简要回顾了近年来PM2.5及其成分与人体健康的研究现状,总结了雾霾健康危害的敏感人群,并对防护雾霾健康危害提出了若干建议。

In recent years, heavy and persistent haze/fog events in China have aroused serious public concerns. These events were mainly caused by high levels of air pollutants （typically particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5um, PM2.5）. The authors reviewed the recent scientific developments about the health effects of PM2.5 and its chemical compositions on the respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive and neurological system and cancers. Then, the potential susceptible subpopulations were summarized. Several suggestions were provided to allievate and avoid the hazardous health effects of haze/fog events.
