空气湿度对儿童健康影响的研究进展

Research progress on effects of air humidity on child health

气候变化现已成为全球21世纪主要的健康威胁之一,极端气候变化如高温和暴雨洪水等同时也伴随着空气湿度的剧烈变化。儿童由于其生长发育和心理认知特点,其身心健康更易受到空气污染和气候变化的危害。研究表明,空气湿度可能在一些儿童常见疾病发病率和严重程度中发挥重要作用。本文通过对空气湿度与其他环境气象条件的联合作用下对儿童的健康效应方面的研究现状进行综述,提高对儿童空气湿度敏感性疾病的认识,分析该领域目前存在的局限及未来展望,为今后的研究提出方向,以更好地保护儿童健康。

Climate change has emerged as the biggest global health threat of the 21st century,with extreme climate changes such as high temperatures and heavy rains and floods accompanied by dramatic changes in air humidity.Children's physical and mental health are more vulnerable to air pollution and climate change due to their growth and development,and psychological and cognitive characteristics.There is evidence that air humidity may play an important role in the incidence and severity of some common childhood diseases.This paper reviews the current state of research on the health effects of air humidity on children under the combined effects of air humidity and other environmental meteorological conditions,raises awareness of air humidity-sensitive diseases in children,analyzes current limitations and future perspectives in this field,and suggests directions for future research to better protect children's health.
