Sonali Bose, MD, MPH, ATSF, Associate Professor of Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is helping to improve the lives of vulnerable women and babies while pushing the boundaries of indoor air pollution research.
Air and noise pollution generated by gas-powered leaf blowers (GLBs) pose multiple hazards to human health
Exposure to lingering fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from wildfire smoke can have health effects up to three months afterwards, well beyond the couple of days that previous studies have identified. The exposure can occur even after the fires have ended.
In this 45-minute webinar, Maayan Yitshak-Sade, PhD, shares her research on environmental risk factors for stroke, focusing on temperature, greenness, and air pollution. Dr. Yitshak-Sade is an environmental epidemiologist, and she investigates the complex health effects of exposure mixtures and their impacts on morbidity, mortality, and life expectancy across demographic and socioeconomic population groups in the United States.
Dr. Kloog discussed how new AI and machine learning models that he has developed are being used to study environmental exposures, like air pollution and temperature extremes, and their impact on public health.
Idling is when engines are left running while the vehicle is parked. Idling motors can create twice as much pollution to the environment and poses a risk to everyone’s health.
PM2.5 has long been recognized as a significant health concern, with strong links to increased mortality and morbidity. It often disproportionately affects minority and low-income communities.
Smoke from wildfires in Canada is affecting air quality in parts of the U.S. Northeast. Understand the risks to children and how to protect them.
A lunchtime chat webinar by Rosalind J. Wright, MD, MPH, Co-Director, Mount Sinai Institute For Exposomic Research
Air pollution is a major public health concern that has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease. In this webinar, Dr. Hadley will discuss the latest scientific research on the connection between air pollution and heart health and what individuals can do to reduce their risk.
Researchers from the Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research have published a comprehensive review of the known impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on cardiovascular health
New study suggests persistent exposure to air pollutants in residential communities can impact health outcomes for COVID-19 patients
Researchers use a novel machine learning algorithm to discover that early exposure to a variety of toxic air pollutants can lead to poor asthma outcomes
