A health impact analysis by #EHMLab assessing #PM25 & #NO2 levels and premature mortality in Great Britain from 2008-2018, with a focus on #WHO quality limits. Decrease in % population exposure, but still ~45% of deaths due to exceedances of #airpollution limits.

A new study by #EHMLab on heat-related risks of #hypoglycaemia in people with #Type1Diabetes. Novel #CTS design with #DLNM to study 33 million continuous glucose readings in 679 adults. Odds of hypoglycaemia increasing by 26% at 25C vs 13.

🆕 New global evidence shows heatstroke is highly heterogeneous and often under‑recognized. Our MCC study across 34 countries finds mortality ranges from <1 to nearly 6 deaths per million, with heatstroke representing only a small share of total heat‑related deaths. #heatstroke #climate
A new study from Inserm, ISGlobal), and #EHMLab at # LSHTM highlights benefits of urban #green in reducing heat-related mortality in #Paris. Trees outperform grass in protection, and 30% of excess mortality can be reduced if all districts have at least 20% of green areas.

New work by #EHMLab on tree #pollen and #asthma-related hospital admissions in England. #CTS analysis of HES 2008-22 linked with 10-km daily gridded pollen data. Highlights: risks mostly limited to children and increases at moderate pollen levels.

Another seminal article led by the #EHMLab at @lshtm.bsky.social listed within the @carbonbrief.org's top 10 climate papers in 2025.
@pmasselot.bsky.social's work provides future heat/cold mortality impacts and #adaptation to #climatechange in Europe.

Interesting study from #EHMLab on known Monday peak in #CVD mortality and role of #airpollution. Analysis of 260,320 myocardial infarction (AMI) deaths over 15 years in Spain found no association with #PM2.5 & #PM10. Other factors likely responsible.

#reproducibleresearch: data and #Rcode for assembling the main dataset and analysing associations with non-accidental mortality are provided in a GitHub repo: github.com/ehm-lab/UK-UFP
New study from #EHMLab found no detectable link between #UFP (ultrafine particle) and mortality, analysing 850k+ deaths in London/W. Midlands (2003-2018).
Findings suggest risks may be context-dependent, and emphasise need for location-specific research.

New article by #EHMLab at #LSHTM on confounding in #airpollution #epidemiology, with a case study using the #UKBiobank.
Key result: importance to control for residual spatial confounding and lifestyle factors.
Focus on #reproducibility, with #R code & synthetic data.

📈Climate change-driven summer heat led to an additional 16,500 deaths in 854 European cities, a new study led by the Grantham Institute and the @lshtm.bsky.social estimates 🧵
Watch Dr @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @ic-cep.bsky.social & @gkonstantinoudis.bsky.social explain the findings.
#EHMLab is hiring a Research Fellow in Biostatistics. Work with massive UK cohorts like UKBiobank & OpenSAFELY to develop new methods for environmental health & climate change. Unique opportunity to collaborate with leading networks.

UK heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England & Wales'
In @theguardian.com @gasparrini.bsky.social & Malcolm Mistry discuss rapid analysis of UK #heatwave & how even a rise of a few degrees, due to #ClimateChange, can be dangerous.

TB & climate change: @who.int report out now, building on an analytical framework we developed to explore the intersections and implications for the TB epidemic. Key message? TB should be considered a climate-sensitive disease www.who.int/publications...
🚨 Next month, we’ll be hosting a one-day event on target-trial emulation and other frameworks, exploring the role and potential of observational data for evaluating the effects of interventions

New #MCC finds boosting urban greenness by 30% could lower temperatures by 0.19°C and cut heat-related mortality by ~1% globally. South Europe sees the biggest benefits. A climate adaptation win?
