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 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.
