Evidence linking ambient air pollution to domestic animal health outcomes: a scoping review
Veterinarians are increasingly confronted with questions about the health impacts of poor air quality. This review consolidates current evidence, identifies vulnerable populations, and highlights air pollution as an emerging risk to domestic animal health. Expanding research will strengthen veterinarians' ability to recognize, mitigate, and advise on pollution-related health impacts.
