Nearly 9 million children are living with sickle cell disease in sub-Saharan Africa.

Published in @LancetChildAdol and led at @TeessideUni, our study provides the most comprehensive estimates to date, with urgent implications for policy and care.

🌍🔥 Wildfires aren’t just burning forests — they’re burning lungs.
Fueled by climate change, toxic smoke travels far, worsening asthma, heart disease, even lung cancer.
Africa is especially at risk.
We need old action.

C²REST is our groundbreaking study in Nigeria measuring how Climate Change affects Respiratory health and developing strategies to help.

…because sometimes the air we breathe needs more attention than the sleep we need!

[C2rest_Nigeria @C2rest_Nigeria]

Our team working hand-in-hand with communities to tackle air quality challenges. This is how change happens - one conversation at a time.

Ever wondered how climate change affects the air we breathe in Nigeria?

We sure have – and we're doing something about it! Our C²REST Nigeria Study is tackling the growing impact of climate change on respiratory health in our communities.

[C2rest_Nigeria @C2rest_Nigeria]

Our research goes beyond data collection—it’s about meaningful engagement and impactful change. By being onsite and collaborating directly with local communities, we ensure our work addresses the real health needs of those most affected by climate change.

Burning municipal waste is one of the key contributors to poor air quality in urban Nigeria. It releases harmful chemicals and fine particulate matter that aggravates respiratory conditions.

PM2.5 can cause serious health problems, including asthma, lung disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. It can also cause lower birth weight and breathing problems for babies exposed to it during prenatal development

Did you know about this?

[C2rest_Nigeria @C2rest_Nigeria]

PM2.5 or particulate matter 2.5 is a term for microscopic solid particles and liquid droplets in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in diameter.

[C2rest_Nigeria @C2rest_Nigeria]

Deforestation and poor environmental management degrade the air we breathe, directly impacting communities that rely on agriculture.

Our C2REST research highlights how food security and respiratory health are intertwined.

Climate change affects food security, but did you know it also exacerbates respiratory health risks?

[C2rest_Nigeria @C2rest_Nigeria]

🚗 Traffic pollution in urban areas is one of Nigeria’s biggest contributors to respiratory illness

Cleaner air means healthier lives.

What can be done? 🧐
