During the previous 50 years, air pollution and its impact on individuals’ health and the environment have been a global concern. The negative health effects of air pollution consist of a broad range of acute and chronic health effects causing increased hospital admissions,1 increased emergency room visits,2 and, most importantly, increased mortality.3

Iron and steel industry is an important source of air pollution emissions. Few studies have investigated cardiovascular effects of air pollutants emitted from steel plants.

Few studies have evaluated long-term cardiovascular effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and its constituents in countries with high air pollution levels. We aimed to investigate the associations of long-term exposure to PM2.5 and constituents with cardiovascular mortality in China.

A new study led by University of Cincinnati researchers provides new insights on how different risk factors following one of the most severe types of stroke can affect patient outcomes.

A new study led by UCLA Health scientists shows highly creative people's brains appear to work differently from others', with an atypical approach that makes distant connections more quickly by bypassing the "hubs" seen in non-creative brains.

Demonstrates seasonal spatial patterns of air quality and asthma rate distributions.

Iowa, New York, and South Dakota reported more highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in poultry, most of them involving commercial flocks. The spread of the Eurasian H5N1 strain, which first appeared in North American wild birds in January, has affected poultry in 17 states and led to the loss of at least 13.6 million birds.
