The perception of air pollution and its health risk: a scoping review of measures and methods.

Background: Although there is increasing awareness of the health risks of air pollution as a global issue, few studies have focused on the methods for assessing individuals' perceptions of these risks. This scoping review aimed to identify previous research evaluating individuals' perceptions of air pollution and its health effects, and to explore the measurement of perceptions, as a key resource for health behaviour.

Methods: The review followed the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley.
