Abstract:

In order to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research and knowledge evolution in the field of occupational hazard factors and health risks associated with building decoration, a systematic review of the relevant literature was conducted using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database and the Web of Science (WoS) core database. Visualisation tools were employed to make knowledge maps of the spatial and temporal distribution, research hotspots and research frontiers of the identified literature. The results show the number of published articles in both Chinese and English increased significantly since 2003. The relevant research is influenced by economic conditions, the real estate market, and the level of emphasis placed on health by both national and international communities. The extant literature can be broadly classified into three categories: workplace environment, occupational hazard factors and health risks. Studies have been conducted throughout the entire period pertaining to indoor air pollution, indoor air quality, detrimental factors and formaldehyde. The research field continues to yield new insights and deepen its understanding. However, there remain areas that require further investigation with regard to the occupational health of workers. In the future, the studies could focus on the occupational health problems caused by different types of decoration, with a particular emphasis on the pollution characteristics of new pollutants and the occupational health risks and protection of workers.

Key words: building decoration, occupational hazards, health risks, knowledge map, research hotspots
