[Zhengyu (Eddy) Yang @YangZhengyu]

Glad to have the first paper of my PhD thesis published by the BMJ🥳

Follow us to have more thoughts on the health impacts of flood.

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

Our BMJ paper shows flooding increases risks of cardiovascular and respiratory mortality. The risks last for about 50-60 days. So governments need to monitor and protect people from health impacts for weeks after the event, not just immediately after.

We analysed ~27M infectious disease hospitalisations in 6 countries (2000–2019) and found that the impacts extend well beyond food & water-borne diseases, including increased risks of airborne, skin/mucosal & sexually transmitted infections.

We analysed ~27M infectious disease hospitalisations across 709 communities in 6 countries (2000–2019) and found that flood exposure increases infection-related hospitalisations for up to 26 weeks after flooding https://t.co/dSxTywuXIv

Around 1.5 million deaths globally per year associated with air pollution from landscape fires between 2000 and 2019, study suggests.

Our latest Lancet study found that air pollution from landscape fires(>90% were wildfires) can cause 1.53 million deaths/year, with over 90% of the burden in lower and middle-income countries @YumingGuo007 @Monash_SPHPM @VicHealth

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

With @mccstudy and global experts, we estimated that landscape fire smoke was associated with 1.5 million deaths annually from 2000 to 2019. Alarmingly, this burden has been increasing, with the majority of deaths occurring in LTMICs. Congrats @RongbinXu

@RongbinXu @YumingGuo007 @Monash_SPHPM @VicHealth Congratulations team!

[Zhengyu (Eddy) Yang @YangZhengyu]

It is thrilling to contribute to this study. The burden of air pollution from landscape fires is more concrete now. 😄

With climate change, exposure to floods has increased and is linked to adverse health outcomes, such as injuries, diseases, and mental health harms, all of which are greater in vulnerable populations. Read the Special Report: https://t.co/UT5AV9my4g

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

Thrilled to share that our paper on climate change, floods, and human health has been published in The New England Journal of Medicine!

Thanks and Congratulations Yao, Bo, Danijela, Jonathan, Virginia, Andy, Kris, Shandy!

Assistant/Associate Professor of Biostatistics @HarvardChanSPH seeks candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant or associate professor level. Details here ➡️ https://t.co/hjHv3MbzV1

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

Our findings indicate that transient elevation in landscape fire PM2.5 levels may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Our findings about the impacts of floods on birth outcomes were reported by the @smh

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

“Babies born early and at a lower weight followed catastrophic Australian floods, a new study has found, as doctors raise concerns about the impact of climate change on pregnant women.” Our findings are reported by @smh @YangZhengyu

[Yuming Guo @YumingGuo007]

Recently many countries are affected by floods seriously.

Our new study shows flood exposure before the last menstrual period and during trimester 1 can significantly increase the risks of preterm birth, still birth, and small for gestational age. Congratulations @YangZhengyu
