Could #greening initiatives in urban areas help prevent #infectious diseases like #COVID19? Our recent research, led by group leader Zorana Jovanovic Andersen, concludes that to be the case, with socially disadvantaged groups benefiting most! 🧐 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… c/o Environment International

"Noise causes cardiovascular disease: it’s time to act", gives this new perspective online now: nature.com/articles/s4137… "The World Health Organization (WHO) Environmental Noise Guidelines and recent reviews confirm a heightened risk of cardiovascular incidents with increasing transportation noise levels."

🌿 Groundbreaking collaboration led by John Ji with colleagues Tom Cole-Hunter analyzes 20 years of urban greenness across 390 Chinese cities. Increased green spaces prevent 37K+ deaths annually. This is a powerful case for nature-based health solutions! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"In conclusion, people living in urban neighborhoods that were more walkable, closer to bluespace, and greener had lower prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases..." This study is among the first in Southeastern Europe, and agrees with our work in Denmark! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What are the trends in air quality & health among the Central, South, & Southeast Asia countries? A key take-away from the latest Health Effects Institute & Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) State of Global Air Report is the following: 1 in 3 deaths in these countries are linked to air pollution! stateofglobalair.org/resources/repo…

How's the air quality in neighborhoods nearby airports? Our team tested that for Copenhagen Municipality with a mobile measurement campaign. Find some answers (in English) here under 'Eksponering for ultrafine partikler i et boligområde nær lufthavnen' <kk.dk/borger/affald-…>

Can adding HEPA filter air cleaners to classrooms with existing HVAC systems reduce indoor air pollution exposure? This article suggests so: lower measurable PM and less infiltration of outdoor PM2.5 compared to control classrooms with non-HEPA filters. nature.com/articles/s4137…

Over half of #deaths from ground-level #Ozone in the #European region are due to emissions coming from outside of the region. This highlights the need for global, rather than just regional, action on air pollution! Read more c/o EU EnvironmentAgency: environment.ec.europa.eu/news/over-half…

How are gene-environment interactions between the polygenic risk score (PRS) for Parkinson disease (PD) and long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) associated with PD risk? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… c/o JAMA

#DYK ambient air pollution & road traffic noise are #stroke risk factors, yet evidence on joint effects is sparse? We've found long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2 & road traffic noise are associated w/ stroke events in a large Nordic cohort: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Environment International

"Air pollution & traffic noise together may pose a greater risk for stroke than either factor alone... even at low levels – below the European Union's air quality standards & around World Health Organization (WHO) noise recommendations – the risk of stroke increased significantly." news.ki.se/air-pollution-…

Is Europe's reliance on imported fossil fuels exposing it to geopolitical vulnerabilities & economic instability? "There's no security without energy security", according to easac latest report on Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies. Read more: easac.eu/publications/d…

Are airports major sources of ultrafine particles (#UFP), and should they raise health concerns among people living nearby? Our findings suggest that airports, together with road traffic, are a significant source of UFPs near residential neighbourhoods! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What's the link between short-term ultrafine #particle (UFP) exposure & childhood #asthma hospital admissions? Our study in ThoraxBMJ adds evidence calling for regulation & improvement of UFP exposure assessment to protect #children’s health in #cities! thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

👩‍🍼🏥 Our group's latest study finds that short-term exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) triggers hospital admissions for respiratory infections among kids. This calls for policies & regulations aimed at improving urban air quality to protect health! 📲sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
