Our new study shows that air pollutants and temperature anomalies increase U.S. cardiovascular hospitalizations. Abnormal temperatures impact CVD via interaction with air pollution, emphasizing the need for emission controls. @SinaiExposomics https://t.co/WlOKcyMD1I

Our study with 277 children in Chicago suggests that high ambient PM2.5 levels may induce trained immunity, resulting in stronger cytokine responses and reduced sensitivity to anti-inflammatory agents.

Our study also provides the possibility of studying UFP health effects, particularly at low levels, and interestingly the effect modification by APS.

[Heresh Amini @HereshAmini]

In Copenhagen, Denmark, we harnessed AI to unmask three ultrafine particle (UFP) metrics in the ambient air: annual mean particle number concentrations (PNC), lung-deposited surface area (LDSA), and average particle size (APS). https://t.co/kg54FvjZHK

[Heresh Amini @HereshAmini]

Our models achieved R² values of 0.93 for PNC, 0.88 for LDSA, and 0.85 for APS. Our study illuminates how UFP exposure metrics vary across a European city with high environmental standards where more than 60% of people commute to work by bicycle.

@XueyingZhang20 Congratulations! So happy for you and such nice study to be conducted!!

We always think about mixtures of exposures, what about mixtures of outcomes? Here we showed how cell type proportions estimated via DNA methylation can be jointly analyzed in association with individual environmental exposures.

@BaccarelliAA I got 25% off at ATT as well. Just upgraded my plan last week :) they scanned my work ID and yes, approved as a teacher!

New publication: "Air quality disparities mapper: An open-source web application for environmental justice." This tool empower US communities to better understand their air quality, and emitting sector(s) to prioritize for PM2.5 reduction programs. https://t.co/nGw5UZM5ui

We have learned a terrible news today. My colleague @HereshAmini was recently diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. This is so unfair. Heresh is such a beautiful soul. We all know the US Health system. Please check his story here, share, contribute #epitwitter

Our study suggests that Google Street View-based LUR models, based on mobile monitoring, can effectively capture the long-term spatial patterns of NO2 in Copenhagen at both street and residential scales.

[Heresh Amini @HereshAmini]

Publication alert: Our paper, led by Shali Tayebi, on comparing predictions of two different models for estimating air pollution levels (NO2 and BC) across Copenhagen, Denmark has been published in Atmosphere. https://t.co/DY2auB5LtA @SinaiExposomics

[Heresh Amini @HereshAmini]

We found that the Google Street View-based models showed higher spatial contrasts and moderate agreement with the European-wide models for NO2.

@BaccarelliAA How do they know you have high schooler? Probably a model based on DoB... 😄

[Heresh Amini @HereshAmini]

While I hope for peace and an end to conflict in the Middle East during these challenging times, I’m thrilled to share our most recent paper, “Climate Change, Exposome Change, and Allergy: A Review.” https://t.co/h9ACnZdpLq
