Abstract The booming construction industry has led to many environmental and occupational health and safety problems. Construction dust caused irreversible damage to the health of frontline workers and polluted the surrounding air environment, which has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners. In this study, to systematically sort and analyze the distribution of construction dust (CD) research, its hot areas, and the evolution of its fronts, papers with “construction dust” as the subject term in the Web of Science Core Collection Database since 2010 are visually analyzed using CiteSpace. The characteristics of these papers, including the quantity trend, quality, author group, affiliated institution type, and journal type, are summarized, and keyword co-appearance and paper co-citation knowledge maps are produced. The results show that (1) China is the backbone of CD research, and the research results account for a considerable proportion of the total. (2) Respiratory dust and atmospheric aerosols, marble dust, PM2.5, and other hot issues have always attracted international attention. And exposure assessment and spatial distribution were the main focuses in the study of CD. (3) The direction of CD research will explore in a more subtle and intelligent direction in the future, for example, monitoring and control equipment under the technical support of big data technology and machine learning and face recognition. By combining bibliometrics with a systematic review, we aim to analyze the research foci and future development direction deeply, providing scholars with a comprehensive view of the field.

Introduction Air pollution has become a global environmental problem, especially in developing countries with rapid economic development and extensive urban construction (Li et al. 2019; He et al. 2019). Outdoor air pollution kills more than four million people per year according to the World Health Organization (WHO) (Pollution Kills More Than Four Million People A Year, According To The World Health Organization (WHO) Responsible Editor: Philippe Garrigues * Ping Guo [email protected] Jianhui Li [email protected] 1

2020). The culprit is particulate matter 2.5 microns or smaller in diameter (PM2.5), which can penetrate deep into the lungs, heart, and blood, causing disease including cancer. Research showed that the main sources of air pollution are coal burning, exhaust emissions from motor vehicles, and dust from industrial production (Pen
