A systematic review of remote sensing data in studying the association of air pollution and Asthma/Allergic Rhinitis

The World Health Organization estimated in 2019 that 262 million people around the globe suffered from asthma, while recent studies in Western societies point out that the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children is 40%. Asthma is a respiratory disease that affects the airways of the lungs, while...

description The World Health Organization estimated in 2019 that 262 million people around the globe suffered from asthma, while recent studies in Western societies point out that the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children is 40%. Asthma is a respiratory disease that affects the airways of the lungs, while allergic rhinitis is also a respiratory disease in which the nasal passages become inflamed due to an allergic reaction. The health of people suffering from these conditions could be significantly affected by high levels of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants. Through satellite remote sensing it is possible to detect and measure various of the mentioned pollutants. In this work, we performed a literature review to understand which and to what extent remote sensing data is used in the study of the association of air pollution and respiratory issues like asthma/allergic rhinitis. We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology. We reviewed 41 articles from peer-reviewed journals obtained from four scientific databases - Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed –, published between 2013 and 2022. Our results show that the combined analysis of remotely sensed air pollution data and asthma/allergic rhinitis is under development. Most of the studies were published three years ago, carried out in urban environments, and mainly used MODIS data. While remote sensing data is increasingly used in air pollution studies, it is potentially possible to incorporate transdisciplinary approaches in academic studies. Further research and promotion of the integration of remote sensing products for mapping the relationship between air pollution and respiratory diseases are necessary. This proposal could aid in evaluating environmental factors and their relationship with respiratory diseases.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud estimó en 2019 que 262 millones de personas en todo el mundo padecían asma, mientras que estudios recientes en sociedades occidentales señalan que la prevalencia de rinitis alérgica en niños es del 40%. El asma es una enfermedad respiratoria que afecta las vías respiratorias de los pulmones, mientras que la rinitis alérgica es una condición en la que las fosas nasales se inflaman debido a una reacción alérgica. La salud de las personas que padecen estas afecciones podría verse afectada significativamente por altos niveles de material particulado, óxido de nitrógeno y otros contaminantes del aire. Mediante la percepción remota es posible identificar y medir varios de estos contaminantes. En este trabajo, realizamos una revisión sistemática de literatura para comprender qué datos de teledetección se utilizan y en qué medida se aplican en el estudio de la asociación entre la contaminación del aire y problemas respiratorios, como el asma y la rinitis alérgica. Realizamos una revisión sistemática siguiendo la metodología PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses). Analizamos  41 artículos de revistas arbitradas obtenidos de cuatro bases de datos científicas (Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science y PubMed), publicados entre 2013 y 2022. Nuestros resultados muestran que el análisis de datos de contaminación del aire obtenidos mediante teledetección y su relación con el asma/rinitis alérgica está en una etapa de desarrollo. La mayoría de los estudios se publicaron en los últimos tres años, se llevaron a cabo en áreas urbanas y utilizaron principalmente datos del satélite MODIS. Si bien los datos de teledetección se utilizan cada vez más en estudios de contaminación del aire, es potencialmente posible incorporar enfoques transdisciplinarios en los estudios académicos. Es fundamental continuar investigando y fomentar la integración de productos de teledetección para mapear con mayor precisión la relación entre la contaminación del aire y las enfermedades respiratorias. Esta propuesta podría contribuir a evaluar los factores ambientales relacionados con dichas enfermedades. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
