Abstract

Currently, the world grapples with significant topics to environmental pollution and public health due to escalated urbanization. Consequently, this study endeavors to confront these challenges by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to reveal trends and unidentified research gaps in the field of environmental pollution and public health spanning from 2003 to 2021. Despite the pictorial view of the impact of urban green and blue spaces on public health, the research trends within this realm remain ambiguous. By leveraging data collected from the Web of Science and Scopus and employing advanced analytical tool such as CiteSpace, this study identifies the most influential studies, institutions, authors, countries, keywords, and category clouds pertinent to green environments and public health research. The findings of current research suggest that it will be worth noting to conduct research on genome changes attributed to climate change and environmental pollution, especially their subsequent impact on mental health and social health in relations to green environments. Furthermore, significant disparity exists in the correlation between subterranean/underground water and public health. This study could be served as root-map for researchers, authors, and publishers, guiding them in formulating future research agendas within the realm of green environments and public health that could substantively contribute to both academic development and applications for sustainable development.
