"Draw your assumptions before your conclusions"

5 years ago we launched the *free* #CausalDiagrams course @HarvardOnline @edxOnline.

Since then, 80,000 people in 180 countries have registered.

ERJ: Ambient air pollution is a major public health concern. Comprehensive new legislation is currently being considered to improve air quality in Europe. There is a unique opportunity to maximise public health benefits in Europe and beyond. https://t.co/acVLjxZ9EF

The first research study suggesting an association between WTC occupational exposures and COPD is available on @ResearchGate: https://t.co/EAMGhhFf10. This adds to the increasing evidence for shorter exposure episodes in association with COPD.

An important step towards clean air in Europe for all, as EU Parliament votes for full allignement of new EU air quality standards with the WHO 2021 Air Quality Guidelines, until 2035. Thanks to @javilopezEU @EuroRespSoc #CleanAir4Health

Again great sessions today at @EuroRespSoc congress: tobacco, environment, occupation and epidemiology

[ERS Assembly 6 @ERS_Assembly6]

@ERS_Assembly6 members, make sure to join us at the Assembly meeting today at 17:15. All are welcome, including early career members @EarlyCareerERS. Get news from the Assembly activities within @EuroRespSoc

[ERS Assembly 6 @ERS_Assembly6]

Original results on #occupation and #environment in respiratory diseases presented today at @EuroRespSoc congress. Don't miss it!

[Laura Delgado O. @ladelgadoortiz]

Experiences of displacement and migration are key determinants of health and well-being.
Great overview from Dennis Falzon at #ERSCongress.

[ERS Assembly 6 @ERS_Assembly6]

It's starting! Have a nice and fruitful congress Assembly 6 members @EuroRespSoc

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

This review of 42 original research papers shows that greenness is mainly a beneficial exposure with protective effects on respiratory health, in particular respiratory mortality, lung cancer incidence, respiratory hospitalisations and lung function. https://t.co/mgifGw8ZxN

[Erik Melén @ErikMelen]

Very happy to see this one out! Climate change is a major threat to lung and allergy patients. Clinicians and healthcare workers must be educated to mitigate this burden to their patients. Teamwork @zoranajova et al @EuroRespSoc https://t.co/prxiKbjpXK

[George Thurston @ProfGThurston]

Our ERS-ISEE clarion call is out for immediate climate change mitigation action, and related health-based air pollution controls, to reduce the adverse health burden from air pollution, and climate change! @atscommunity @LungAssociation @pophealthNYC https://t.co/seF5SwCAQ1

ERJ: Nicotine vaping is associated with acute and chronic lung cellular, structural and functional changes that can be expected to have significant short- and long-term consequences for consumers’ respiratory health https://t.co/qbDIVXQYXu

Check out the latest issue of Breathe, with important contributions from several ERS Assembly 6 members, on air quality and occupational lung diseases

A nice and short "Journal Club" review on #exposome and #respiratory diseases written by ERS Assembly 6 early career members @EarlyCareerERS, summarizing recent findings from large cohorts on health impact of environmental exposures

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

The increasing global burden of respiratory diseases over recent decades raises questions about the lifelong impact of environmental factors during industrialisation and urbanisation. There is a clear need for action in primary and secondary prevention. https://t.co/MFzkETBr2X

[ERS Early-Career Members @EarlyCareerERS]

We cannot wait for our #NEXTprogramme in <3months! part of @EuroRespSoc Congress 2023! Read here https://t.co/vRj7pGCimD testimonials of the past and current chairs & co-chairs of the ECMC (@EarlyCareerERS) & a glimpse of the #NEXTprogramme, along with participants’ experiences.

[ERS @EuroRespSoc]

The Late-Breaking Abstract submission deadline for this year’s #ERSCongress is in one week (31 May).
