Health risks of exposure to air pollution in areas where coal-fired power plants are located: protocol for a scoping review
Introduction Coal-fired power plants are major sources of air pollution which impact human health. Coal combustion byproducts released into the air include particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide. Exposure to fine particulate matter is associated with increased risk of mortality. This scoping review will examine and summarise the current literature on the health risks of exposure to air pollution in areas in which coal-fired power plants exist. Methods and analysis This scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework and reported in accordance with the Pre...
