@WBUR interviewed @MaryRice_LungDr today! She spoke about impact of climate change, air pollution, wildfires, heat on patients’ health. @ATS_EOPH @HarvardCCHANGE @NPR

“Higher exposure to traffic just as bad as having smoked in the past!”

Give a listen!

I am proud to have contributed to this systematic review with @kardiologykazi and @SmithBIDMC . Climate change harms the ❤️ and the 🫁, esp among those with limited resources. #climateaction

@MacElfeshawyMD at #ATS2024 is exploring if exposure to home allergens including pets/pests is associated with skin reactivity in eosinophilic COPD. Further studies may lead to broader screening and allergy testing for eosinophilic COPD patients.

So fun to celebrate the many accomplishments of @BIDMCLungHealth at #ATS2024 on a rooftop in San Diego 😎. I am so lucky to work with this dream team!

@PabloEMorejonJ shared his groundbreaking findings on FeNO as a biomarker for hospitalization risk in eosinophilic COPD with giants in the field @PintoPla @BartolomeCelli @alejandrodiazmd @atscommunity #ATS2024

[Mary Rice @MaryRice_LungDr]

Soon-to-be Dr Denoncourt @cmdenoncourt brilliantly demonstrated a very high prevalence of allergic sensitization in eosinophilic COPD and argued we need to screen for environmental triggers! Thanks team @wphipmd @nnassikas @PabloEMorejonJ @BIDMCLungHealth @ATS_EOPH

Air quality alert for 7 MA counties declared by @MassDEP - high heat/ground level ozone. Unhealthy air for those with asthma, lung/heart diseases, and the elderly. Climate change is increasing the frequency of these events! @EPA’s extreme heat info: https://t.co/QD17lBo7ga.
