How is Paris shaping a healthier, greener future under Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo? 🌱🚲 From air quality & #GreenSpace to #ActiveMobility & #OneHealth planning — don’t miss this @WHO dialogue, with @DrMariaNeira! 🗓️ 25 July | 16:30 CET 🎙️ w/ Dr Maria Neira 🔗 who.int/news-room/even…

🥩🌱 Is #MeatFree the future of #food? Join us September 4th online for the launch of @EASACnews #MeatAlternatives report. We dive into plant-based, cultivated, fermented & insect-based #proteins — and what it means for #health, safety & the planet. 🔗 lnkd.in/emYDZxZw

Although the link between air pollution & lung cancer is well established, recent evidence from low-pollution areas is mixed. In our latest study, we investigated the association of long-term exposure to air pollution w/ lung cancer incidence in Denmark. doi.org/10.1016/j.atmo…

What can a decade of biomonitoring reveal? 📊 New study tracks #PAH exposure in 🇨🇿 (2011–2020): ✅ Most #biomarkers dropped—phenanthrene ↓85% 🚭 Linked to air laws & #smoking bans ⚠️ But 2-hydroxy-naphthalene rose in kids 🧪 nature.com/articles/s4137… #Biomonitoring #OpenAccess

Just out: European Academies Science Advisory Council @EASACnews’s latest newsletter! Catch up on science-policy updates from Europe’s academies — from climate & food systems to gene editing & digital health. mailchi.mp/ba1f1f4b0cc7/e… #SciencePolicy #PublicHealth #ClimateAction

Can noise increase your risk of #dementia? A brand-new study published in @SwissTPH's flagship journal finds long-term #noise exposure may raise dementia risk by 15%! Congrats to co-authors @AditiSinghviMD, @AndreaBaccarell, @sina_ali94 et al. Study: ssph-journal.org/journals/publi…

What's the risk of exposure to air pollution leading to dementia? "Even low levels of air pollution in 🇩🇰 were associated with dementia development, especially among certain susceptible groups, emphasizing the need for targeted intervention strategies." doi.org/10.1016/j.envi…

How does #AirPollution affect your #lungs during #exercise? 🏋️‍♀️🤼‍♀️🤾⛹️🤸🏌️🚴‍♂️ A new systematic review shows that workouts ≥120 min in polluted air (above @WHO 2021 thresholds) can reduce lung function & increase airway inflammation. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.100… c/o @SpringerNature

#Renovating your home, or work in the industry, and have health concerns? Our just-published study has some key take-home (pun unintended) messages, including "talc, titanium dioxide, quartz, & potential #asbestos detected in indoor construction #dust." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

“Europe will increasingly have to learn to live with fire and adapt society to a new challenging reality,” warns Prof. Thomas Elmqvist, European Academies Science Advisory Council (@EASACnews) Environment Director. Read the full #Wildfires report now: easac.eu/publications/d…

👩‍🍼🏥 Our group's latest study finds that short-term exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) triggers hospital admissions for respiratory infections among kids. This calls for policies & regulations aimed at improving urban air quality to protect health! 📲sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What's the link between short-term ultrafine #particle (UFP) exposure & childhood #asthma hospital admissions? Our study in @ThoraxBMJ adds evidence calling for regulation & improvement of UFP exposure assessment to protect #children’s health in #cities! thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

Are airports major sources of ultrafine particles (#UFP), and should they raise health concerns among people living nearby? Our findings suggest that airports, together with road traffic, are a significant source of UFPs near residential neighbourhoods! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Is Europe's reliance on imported fossil fuels exposing it to geopolitical vulnerabilities & economic instability? "There's no security without energy security", according to @EASACnews latest report on Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies. Read more: easac.eu/publications/d…

Defending science, knowledge, & public interest? The global scientific community is standing united against political suppression. Let's safeguard scientific integrity and promote policies that prioritize public well-being. Read & sign the declaration: spheraresearch.org/declaration-of…

"Air pollution & traffic noise together may pose a greater risk for stroke than either factor alone... even at low levels – below the @europeanunion's air quality standards & around @WHO noise recommendations – the risk of stroke increased significantly." news.ki.se/air-pollution-…

#DYK ambient air pollution & road traffic noise are #stroke risk factors, yet evidence on joint effects is sparse? We've found long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2 & road traffic noise are associated w/ stroke events in a large Nordic cohort: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @env_int_journal

How are gene-environment interactions between the polygenic risk score (PRS) for Parkinson disease (PD) and long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) associated with PD risk? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… c/o @JAMA_current
