Özet
The iron and steel industry is one of the main industrial contributors to air pollution. The aim of our study is to analyze modern studies on air pollution by the iron and steel industry, as a result of which the geography and research directions and the degree of development of current issues will be assessed, and the most cited articles and journals will be identified. A review of contemporary research (2018–2024) was conducted on the basis of articles with a digital object identifier (DOI) using machine learning methodologies (VOSviewer software version 1.6.20). The number of articles selected was 80. The heat map of study density clearly showed that the geographic distribution of studies was extremely uneven. A total of 65% of the studies were conducted in China, 9% in Nigeria, 6% in Russia, 3% in Poland, and 3% in Turkey. The remaining 14% of articles represent a series of single studies conducted in 11 countries. The revealed geographical imbalance between countries with developed production and the number of studies conducted in them shows a significant shortcoming in monitoring research. Most of the studies (20%) were devoted to the assessment of multicomponent emissions. A special place among them was occupied by the inventory of emissions using various methods. The next main directions in terms of the number of articles were aimed at studying the toxic metal emissions (19%), at the analysis of organic emissions (19%), at the modeling and forecasting of emissions (18%), and at particulate matter studies (15%). The main features of the articles for each direction are briefly noted. Citation analysis made it possible to compile a rating of articles of greatest scientific interest and the most authoritative journals. Citation network analysis revealed important insights into the structure of scientific communication in the monitoring of atmospheric pollution from the iron and steel industry. The results of our review will contribute to the consolidation of scientists, the identification of gaps in scientific knowledge, and the improvement of environmental policy and technological solutions.
