New article from the #EHMLab at #LSHTM on heat-related risks for hospital admissions. Analysing over 4M records in 2008-2019, we found increases for a range of conditions, but not CVD admissions. Full article: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/6... #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #ExtremeHeat #Healthcare

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. Full text: doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

🆕 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. Full-text: lnkd.in/dyUrUhWG
