Better organisation

I have the article reorganised, with new section headings such as Pollutants, Conditions and disorders, Neurodevelopmental disorders, Neurodegenerative disorders, and Mental disorders, etc. [1] --Dustfreeworld (talk) 08:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for article expansion

Below are some good sources for expanding the article (mostly about cognitive function) . Feel free to use them in other articles too. They were selected by the experts in the field so IMO most of them should be compliant to MEDRS, except that some may be a bit dated.

Mitigating the impact of air pollution on dementia and brain health: Setting the policy agenda, 2022

Quote: “Umbrella Review: While several literature reviews were conducted during the two years of consortium building, as a final exercise we conducted an umbrella review (Aromataris et al., 2015) of existing reviews for the last ten years, using Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The umbrella review was used both to corroborate (where possible) and add to the priority areas identified through our engagement with consortium academics and stakeholders.

Articles included mapping reviews, systematic reviews, other umbrella reviews, integrated reviews, and rapid reviews. The keywords used were air pollution, PM2.5, brain health, cognition, cognitive function, cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, neurodegenerative disease, stroke, and inflammatory disease. In May–June 2022, using the general search terms ‘review’ and ‘air pollution or PM2.5 or air quality’ in the Web of Science Core Collection, we identified N = 714 results, which we then filtered using the above key words as all-field terms. This reduced our search to N = 50 articles. Additional articles were identified on PubMed and Google Scholar using the same set of search terms, resulting in N = 77 total publications (End date of search: 2 June 2022). Four consortium experts read the abstracts of the N = 77 articles to filter out any reviews not directly focused on brain health. The result was the N = 38 articles in Table 2.

The umbrella review supported most priority areas in Research and Funding, including the addition of Priority 4, Studying Indoor Air Pollution. The reviews did not have a lot to say about Priority Area 1 or about the policy domains of Education and Awareness or Policy Evaluation. As such, we added to our umbrella review any published opinions, policy papers, and invited perspectives directly or indirectly related to policy or evaluation for air pollution and brain health. Exploring the Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, and Google Scholar, we identified a total of N = 6 publications (See Table 1). These papers corroborated Education and Awareness and Policy Evaluation, as well as priority areas 1–2, 8, 12, and 13”
