Abstract

In recent years, some countries are facing the haze pollution because of industrialization. PM 2.5 is an important factor affecting the atmospheric haze. There are many investigations about PM 2.5, but few of them are bibliometric analysis, including co-citation analysis, hot topics, burst detection, and emerging trends. Therefore, this paper adopts a bibliometric method to address the above issues and provide a general picture about the research field. By downloading 3792 articles from Web of Science and analyzing the results given by CiteSpace, the main conclusions of this paper are as follows: 1) The two hot topics in PM 2.5 area are “optical depth” and “chemical composition”. 2) The most productive countries, institutions, sources, authors, and interesting research directions in the PM 2.5 researches are visually demonstrated. 3) Atmospheric Environment, Science of the Total Environment, and Epidemiology are the major sources for PM 2.5 researches. 4) An emerging trend in PM 2.5 researches is “children”. This paper provides an overall analysis about PM 2.5 researches and gives some inspirations for researchers to do further investigations.
