Abstract: With the development of science and technology, environmental problems are becoming more and more serious, which also bring many potential health risks. Studying the publics perception of environmental health risks can provide a scientific basis for risk management decision-making. Through literature review, this paper expounds the research countries and objects of environmental health risk perception in recent three years, focuses on the research fields and research methods of environmental health risk perception, and summarizes the characteristics, hot spots and trends of environmental health risk perception. Finally, the paper summarizes the shortcomings of current research and prospects future research.

Key words: Environmental health, Risk perception, Research hotspot, Research methods, Development
