Air Pollution Linked to Health Issues in Domestic Animals

A scoping review of 29 studies found that ambient air pollution is linked to various health outcomes in domestic animals, with respiratory and neurologic effects showing parallels to human health.

Researchers conducted a scoping review across two databases to synthesize evidence on ambient air pollutant exposures and health outcomes in domestic animals, excluding indoor or experimental studies.

The abstract focuses on findings; it does not give personal how-to steps.

This scoping review synthesized existing evidence by following established guidelines, including 29 studies on dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. It highlights air pollution as an emerging risk to domestic animal health.
