Abstract

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is generated from the combustion process, including exhaust fumes from motor vehicles, industrial activity, and forest fires. This review aims to find out PM2.5 as one of the risk factors of impaired lung function on children through a critical review of the article journals. A systematic review strategy was conducted by searching for articles related to PM2.5 with impaired lung function on children that already published in accredited journals from 2012-2017. The literature search was conducted in April 2017 through the online database, Pubmed, ProQuest, and Science Direct database. Seven article journals selected based on the inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria that conducted with the critical review process. This systematic review showed the significant result that PM2.5 is one of the risk factors for impaired lung function on children. The higher the average concentration of PM2,5, the more decrease of lung function on children. Children, as one of the susceptible groups of PM2.5, need more protection and preventive actions, especially with forest fires that happened in Indonesia.
