Ground level ozone is a major air pollutant with known toxic effects on humans. The research field is well established with many scientists from developed and developing countries contributing original research articles. Strict regulations for ozone air pollution are being implemented worldwide based on supporting scientific literature. In this scientometric analysis, we have analyzed the research trends in the field of ozone air pollution during 2011–2019. The collected SCOPUS data was analyzed using common scientometric analysis methods for known indicators to identify top ten rankings and scientific collaborations important for the field. Our result demonstrates that the USA is leading the field as USEPA and American regulatory authorities have funded most of the research. Two scientists, Russell A.G. and Schwartz J., working in American institutions, are leading with the most publications. Our assessment of ozone and PM together shows a significant impact on research direction in the last years to accommodate the study of both air pollutants together. In addition, we have analyzed the possible disease trends in the field for the last 3 years and identified that cardiovascular system, nervous system, and diabetes are upcoming disease areas that would be studied in the coming future.
