Wildfire smoke in New England, please stay safe!
🚨 NEW STUDY: Despite falling CA air pollution 1980-2022, relative racial disparities in short-term NO₂ exposure worsened.
➡️ Hispanic/Latino communities faced 3X MORE high-pollution days (>50µg/m³) than White residents in 2020.
Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134211

Devastating to see over 50 lives lost in Texas floods💔This tragedy reflects a broader pattern our Nature Communications study uncovered:~100 Texans died yearly from flooding—not just from drowning, but injuries, heart, and lung diseases.

So sad to see this happening: the leading environmental health journal EHP stops handling manuscripts. Some friends with manuscripts in revision (months to even a year in the peer review process) got their manuscripts withdrawn. Hope this is just a pause but not the end.

Amid all the chaos, anxiety, and desperation, I am excited to begin reading this newly released book #ParticlesOfTruth
This is a story of discovery, controversy, and the fight for #HealthyAir by Arden Pope and Douglas Dockery
This gives us hope.

With all the uncertainty and flood of bad news on #climatechange & #publichealth, it is hard not to feel lost and questioning the impact of our research.
Let's cherish each good news and and keep striving to make our research matter!

In a new @agugeohealth.bsky.social #GeoHealth paper, we found that higher #ozone levels increased #heartattack risk. This risk was higher for non-ST elevation and type 2 heart attacks.
