Pollutants that pose large health concerns are particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulphur dioxide (SO2). These compounds (especially PM2.5 and PM10) contribute to the onset of diseases, such as respiratory diseases (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung cancer) and cardiovascular diseases. Abatement interventions are implemented to reduce air pollution and thereby the risk of these diseases. This systematic review examined the published scientific evidence on the cost-effectiveness of strategies aimed at reducing or controlling air pollution and assessed the reporting quality of included studies. It employed rigorous data extraction and quality scoring procedures to ensure the reliability and validity of our findings. Overall, there is substantial evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing air pollution. Seventy-four studies and four policy reports were included in this review. Predominantly, cost\u2013benefit analyses have been reported (n = 40), reflecting the multisectoral impacts and associated costs of air pollution. Only four cost\u2013utility analyses were found, indicating the need for more research within this domain. Additionally, eight articles reported one or more non-economic results. Thirty-nine studies focused on particulate matter (PM), and eleven focused on nitrogen oxides (NOx). The quality assessment yielded moderate results. The heterogeneity of studies and moderate quality of reporting make it difficult to compare results and draw definitive conclusions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22060926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]],"date-time":"2025-06-12T03:59:17Z","timestamp":1749700757000},"page":"926","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Air Pollution Mitigation Strategies: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0954-2573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Vandenbulcke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Interuniversity Centre for Health Economics Research (i-CHER), Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Laarbeeklaan 103, 1090 Jette, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, ON2 Herestraat 49, P.O.
