    <abstract locale="en_US">Introduction: This study provides a scientometric analysis of the health impact 
assessment within AirQ between 2005 and 2019, which are listed in the web 
science databases. Studies have been conducted in various indexed journals, 
researchers in World Health Organization (WHO) regional areas on product 
articles, international collaboration, and citation and keyword analysis.
Materials and methods: Bibliographic records of research publications and 
articles were found and after screening process were input to study plan. The 
authors compared the growth of article that was published in this period time, 
conducted a citation and co-authorship analysis, and keywords co-occurrences 
relationship by publication using the scientometric visualization, VOSviewer. 
Results: The AirQ applying tool in research literature has seen most increase in 
2017 production over the study period. Contributions by authors affiliated with 
WHO-Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) account for the most 
research literature. Most of studies focus on particles Particulate Matter with 
diameter &lt;10 &#xB5;m (PM10) and Particulate Matter with diameter &lt;2.5&#xB5;m (PM2.5) 
and according to total mortality and in hospital admission, Respiratory Disease 
(RD) and Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) are most commonly.
Conclusion: All potential of AirQ has not been used in studies. Despite 
all function its scope is limited to several countries in the WHO regions. 
Implementation of &#x201C;Driving Force, Pressure, State, Exposure, Effect, and 
Action&#x201D; (DPSEEA) conceptual model need some evidence that AirQ can 
achieve and estimate Health Impact Assessment (HIA) but we didn&#x2019;t find any 
articles that work on intervention by it on policy makers and management 
programs.</abstract>
