Novel exposures, birth outcomes, and social vulnerability in a changing transportation landscape

This project will develop models relevant for characterizing exposures from vehicle (tailpipe and non-tailpipe), rail, and aircraft sources and relate those exposures to birth outcome data in the Los Angeles area. They will also include a social vulnerability analysis and will assess the effect of electric vehicles, flight technologies, and the COVID-19 travel disruptions on air pollution and birth outcomes.

Abstracts for investigators' posters to be presented at the HEI 2025 Annual Conference will appear on the HEI website in April 2025.
