📝#Health protection & #climatechange require ambitious limit values for air pollutants in Europe. Read the position paper with contributions by our #HelmholtzMunich experts 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 , Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann & Alexandra Schneider Epidemiology at Helmholtz Munich #RKI #airpollutants👇

The 52nd Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland is currently taking place in Leipzig #gfoe23. The topic is "The future of #biodiversity – overcoming barriers of taxa, realms and scales" and our 👩🔬 Kathrin Wolf is taking part.

Next Tuesday Connecting health and climate change is hosting a policy #conference on #HealthImpacts of #ClimateChange in Brussels and our 👩🔬scientist Alexandra Schneider will give a talk at 10:30 a.m. on #Heat and #AirPollution – a joint threat for health. Participation is free, see registration below 👇


On #WorldLungDay 2023 Prof. Annette Peters, of Epidemiology at Helmholtz Munich, details the health effects of air pollution and explains what people, communities & respiratory health professionals should do to combat its impact. More: ow.ly/w0bp50POcvM


The next conference on Connecting Health & #ClimateChange is coming up in Stockholm! On Oct 11th, our 👩🔬 @schneiderAlex71 will talk about small-area analysis of #HeatEffect on #Mortality & effect modification by #AirPollution. Connecting health and climate change ExhaustionH2020 bit.ly/3RC6oPn
