HEI publishes new report on assessing long-term air pollution exposures and severe COVID-19 outcomes in New York City

October 9, 2025

HEI has published a new Research Report, REACH-OUT: Race, Ethnicity, and Air Pollution in COVID-19 Hospitalization OUTcomes, led by Dr. Jeanette Stingone of Columbia University. The study evaluated whether associations between long-term air pollution exposures and severe COVID-19 health outcomes varied by neighborhood-level environmental vulnerability, as defined by social and structural characteristics such as income and housing, in a cohort of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in New York City.

New report on examining mobility in air pollution exposure estimates

October 7, 2025

HEI has published a new Research Report, Accounting for Mobility in Air Pollution Exposure Estimates in Studies on Long-Term Health Effects. This study led by Kees de Hoogh at Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, evaluated whether long-term exposure estimates that account for people’s mobility would improve exposure assessment, using novel agent-based modeling.

HEI publishes new report on improving assessment of long-term exposures to outdoor air pollutants within a city

August 8, 2025

HEI has published a new report Optimizing Air Pollution Exposure Assessment with Application to Cognitive Function, led by Dr. Lianne Sheppard at the University of Washington. Sheppard and colleagues sought to understand the importance and influence of various study design features on estimating long-term exposure in Seattle, Washington using these different approaches. For example, they applied their new methods to evaluate the influence of the number, representativeness, and type of air pollution measurements on exposure predictions and health estimates in an existing cohort of older adults. They also developed practical guidance for future mobile monitoring campaigns, addressing a clear research gap.
