The invisible threats to health
Pioneering link between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and heart defects:
First study to establish an association between exposure to PM2.5 air pollution and the risk of congenital heart defects.
Long-term air pollution exposure increases cancer risk:
Significantly increased risks for lung, bladder, breast, and prostate cancer with long-term exposure to ambient pollutants (NOx, PM2.5).
Chemical mixtures in utero affect child development:
Research shows that combined prenatal exposure to 27 endocrine-disrupting chemicals impacts a child’s weight at age 7.
Investigating industrial pollution and cancer:
Increased dose-response cancer risk related to length of residence near an industrial complex (21-year follow-up, 1M+ people).
