This report presents a study led by Michael Kleeman at the University of California, Davis. Kleeman and colleagues evaluated associations between estimated outdoor air pollution concentrations and risk of COVID-19 disease, COVID-19 disease progression or recovery, deaths due to COVID-19, and long COVID- 19 conditions among a study population in Southern California.
This report presents a study led by Tanya L. Alderete, a recipient of HEI’s 2019 Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award, at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. Alderete and colleagues examined whether prenatal or postnatal exposures to air pollution were associated with changes in the infant gut microbiome and fecal metabolome during the first 2 years of life.
This report presents a study led by co-principal investigators Payam Dadvand and Jordi Sunyer at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). Dadvand, Sunyer, and colleagues examined the effects of prenatal exposure to traffic-related air pollution on fetal growth and placental function in a newly established cohort of 1,080 women living in Barcelona, Spain.
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.
