This report presents a study led by Meredith Franklin at the University of Toronto. Franklin and colleagues measured air pollutants such as ozone and volatile organic compounds; greenhouse gas emissions such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide; airborne radioactivity; and noise associated with UOGD activities in two shale production basins during a yearlong study period.
This report presents a study led by Jeanette A. Stingone at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Stingone and colleagues evaluated whether associations between long-term air pollution exposures and severe COVID-19 health outcomes varied by New York City neighborhoods that differed in environmental vulnerability, as defined by social and structural characteristics.
This report presents a study led by Kees de Hoogh at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. de Hoogh and colleagues evaluated whether long-term exposure estimates that account for people’s mobility would improve exposure assessment, using novel agent-based modeling.
This report presents a study led by Lianne Sheppard at the University of Washington. Sheppard and colleagues compared the performance of different exposure assessment study design features on long-term exposure and health estimates in Seattle, Washington.
This report presents a study led by Klea Katsouyanni at Imperial College London. Katsouyanni and colleagues evaluated whether detailed estimates of long-term, personal exposures to outdoor air pollution yield better estimates of the health effects of exposure than less detailed approaches.
This report presents a study led by Megan Herting of the University of Southern California, a recipient of HEI’s 2019 Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award. Herting and colleagues examined whether childhood and prenatal exposure to residential outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was associated with neurodevelopment over a 1-year period in a nationally representative cohort of children ages 9–10 in the United States.
This report presents a study led by Kai Chen of the Yale School of Public Health. Chen and colleagues used the unique scenario of COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 to understand how a pause in human activity might affect day-to-day changes in air pollution and the resulting effects on health.
