This report presents an accountability study led by Jill Baumgartner and Sam Harper at McGill University. Baumgartner, Harper, and colleagues evaluated the effects on air quality and health of a clean heating policy that stipulated and subsidized the conversion of household heating from coal to electric heaters in Beijing region villages.
This report presents a study led by Joseph Antonelli at the University of Florida. Antonelli and colleagues describe several new approaches to support causal inference, focusing on exposure to multiple pollutants, addressing bias resulting from confounding, and enhancing exposure assessment by incorporating people’s mobility patterns.
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.
