Cumulative risk assessment for combinations of environmental and psychosocial stressors: A systematic review
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8003-5478
AbstractWith the growing awareness of stressors, cumulative risk assessment (CRA) has been proposed as a potential method to evaluate possible additive and synergistic effects of multiple stressors on human health, thus informing environmental regulation and protecting public health. However, CRA is still in its exploratory stage due to the lack of generally accepted quantitative approaches. It is an ideal time to summarize the existing progress to guide future research. To this end, a systematic review of the literature on CRA issues dealing with combinations of environmental and psychosocial stressors was conducted in this study. Using typology and bibliometric analysis, the body of knowledge, hot topics, and research gaps in this field were characterized. It was found that research topics and objectives mainly focus on qualitative analysis and community settings; more attention should be paid to the development of quantitative approaches and the inclusion of occupational settings. Further, the roles of air pollution and vulnerability factors in CRA have attracted the most attention. This study concludes with views on future prospects to promote theoretical and practical development in this field; specifically, CRA is a multifaceted topic that requires substantial collaborations with various stakeholders and substantial knowledge from multidisciplinary fields. This study presents an overall review as well as research directions worth investigating in this field, which provides a historical reference for future study.

Key Points Cumulative risk assessment is a multifaceted topic that receives extensive attention from affected populations, environmental organizations, business groups, legislators, and academics; therefore, the progress of CRA requires multidisciplinary collaboration. The current research topics and objectives mainly focus on the general public; the scope of future studies should be expanded to occupational settings for worker health protection. Uncertainty exists in CRA due to intrinsic and extrinsic aspects; filling of knowledge/information gaps and integration of political, social, and economic concerns into risk assessment have been proven to be potential ways to address these uncertainty issues. As the country with the highest number of publications on CRA and that has carried out CRA practices earlier, the research progress in the United States may provide significant references for subsequent studies at the international level.
