Health effects of climate change: an overview of systematic reviews
The climate-health link has been the target of more research in recent years and it is also receiving increasing attention from the public and in both public health and climate communication literature. 2 39-41 However, the health framing of climate change information is still underused in climate communications, and researchers suggest we ...
Research on Health Effects from Air Pollution
Research on Health Effects from Air Pollution. Decades of research have shown that air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) increase the amount and seriousness of lung and heart disease and other health problems. More investigation is needed to further understand the role poor air quality plays in causing detrimental effects to ...
How air pollution is destroying our health
As the world gets hotter and more crowded, our engines continue to pump out dirty emissions, and half the world has no access to clean fuels or technologies (e.g. stoves, lamps), the very air we breathe is growing dangerously polluted: nine out of ten people now breathe polluted air, which kills 7 million people every year. The health effects of air pollution are serious - one third of ...
Climate change and health: three grand challenges
The cumulative effect of loss of livelihood, displacement, disrupted social cohesion and uncertainty from climate change can also result in longer-term mental health disorders 17. Research is ...
Direct human health risks of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide
Further research is needed to quantify the major sources of CO 2 exposure, to identify mitigation strategies to avoid adverse health effects and protect vulnerable populations, and to fully ...
Research Reports
The results of each HEI-funded project undergo peer-review by outside scientists and the Health Review Committee. The HEI Research Reports contain the Investigator's Report and the Review Committee's evaluation of the study, summarized in a Commentary or short Critique.

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Air Pollution Linked to Dementia Cases (September 2023) - In this edition of NIH Research Matters, read about findings from the Health and Retirement Study, funded by the National Institute on Aging, that showed higher air pollution exposure was linked to an increased risk of dementia. After consideration of all sources, fine particulate ...
Health effects associated with smoking: a Burden of Proof study
We identified three outcomes with a 4-star association with smoking: COPD (72% increase in risk based on the BPRF, 0.54 ROS), lower respiratory tract infection (54%, 0.43) and pancreatic cancer ...
Climate Effects on Health
Climate Effects on Health. Climate change, together with other natural and human-made health stressors, influences human health and disease in numerous ways. Some existing health threats will intensify and new health threats will emerge. Not everyone is equally at risk. Important considerations include age, economic resources, and location.

Health Effects Institute provides high-quality, trusted science for cleaner air and better health. Read more about our research mission and unique model of equal partnership by government and industry.
Ongoing Research
HEI's research program has addressed many important questions about the health effects of a variety of ambient air pollutants over the past two decades. These include carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides, which are regulated in the United States by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In addition, many air toxics and fuel additives have been studied, including ...
Health and the Environment
Our researchers conduct human health risk assessments to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to chemicals in the environment. EPA's Health and Environmental Risk Assessment Research Program is designed to develop and apply state-of-the-science research to characterize the impacts on human ...
Assessing the impact of healthcare research: A systematic review of
Methods and findings. Two independent investigators systematically searched the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), the Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL+), the Health Management Information Consortium, and the Journal of Research Evaluation from inception until May 2017 for publications that ...
Climate change and health: boosting resilience via adaptation science
RW: What are some of the direct and indirect effects of climate change that you think will require increased research moving forward? PK: Direct effects, such as injuries, infectious diseases, and mental health issues, can stem from extreme weather events like cyclones and flooding, where massive loss of live can devastate families and entire ...
Research on Health Effects, Exposure, & Risk from Mobile Source
Exposures to air toxics can also cause noncancerous health effects, such as neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and/or immune system damage. Below are resources for health effects, exposure, and risk from mobile source pollution. This document provides an overview of the effects of diesel exhaust on your health and the ...
The Effects of Climate Change
Extreme heat, heavy downpours, and flooding will affect infrastructure, health, agriculture, forestry, transportation, air and water quality, and more. Climate change will also worsen a range of risks to the Great Lakes. Southwest. Climate change has caused increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks.
Human brains are getting larger. That may be good ...
Study participants born in the 1970s had 6.6% larger brain volumes and almost 15% larger brain surface area than those born in the 1930s. The researchers hypothesize the increased brain size may lead to an increased brain reserve, potentially reducing the overall risk of age-related dementias. The findings were published in JAMA Neurology.
Strength training boosts longevity, mood and metabolism as it builds
Strength training is good for everyone. But women who train regularly, reduce their risk of death from heart disease significantly. And here are 5 other hidden benefits of building muscle.
Vaping Health Risks: Study Suggests Nearly 20% Increased Threat Of
A 2019 study looked at NIH health data from 2016 and 2017, and couldn't establish a connection between vaping and heart disease, though it found evidence smoking traditional cigarettes increased ...
Pilot study shows ketogenic diet improves severe mental illness
Now, a pilot study led by Stanford Medicine researchers has found that a ketogenic diet not only restores metabolic health in these patients as they continue their medications, but it further improves their psychiatric conditions. The results, published March 27 in Psychiatry Research, suggest that a dietary intervention can be a powerful aid ...
Short‐Term Effects of Extreme Meteorological Factors on Hand, Foot, and
According to existing studies, it has been observed that meteorological factors have a non-linear impact on human health and exhibit lag effects (Hu et al., 2018; ... The research findings can guide health authorities in formulating more targeted policies for HFMD prevention and control. Simultaneously, it can enhance public awareness of HFMD ...
Early cortical remyelination has a neuroprotective effect in multiple
In a new study published in Brain, researchers at Paris Brain Institute show that spontaneous remyelination of nerve fibers in the cortex has a neuroprotective effect in patients with shorter ...
Study Tracks Shifts in Student Mental Health During College
The team made their anonymized data set publicly available—including self-reports, surveys, and phone-sensing and brain-imaging data—to help advance research into the mental health of students during their college years.. Andrew Campbell, the paper's senior author and Dartmouth's Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century Professor of Computer Science, says that the study's extensive data ...
