I’m excited to share my comment that has just been published in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas. In this piece, I address the alarming surge of wildfires in Brazil and their devastating impact on public health. Check out the full comment here: https://t.co/YeNdHirUmS

I'm excited to share two new papers on the impact of air pollution on preterm birth and low birth weight in Brazil. Our findings show a clear link between air pollution and these adverse birth outcomes. Full paper here: https://t.co/dlFukoNTEG

Our latest research on air pollution control measures in Brazil. We found that the current control may not be as effective as anticipated in reducing air pollution. https://t.co/gqU3DKlmNh

Glad to share our new study! This is the first nationwide study in Brazil that estimates the relationship between SO2 and mortality. Previous Brazilian studies were conducted in specific cities and did not provide a nationwide estimate. https://t.co/sJxJdn871H

Our new study on the association of extreme temperatures with mortality in Brazil. The pooled national results for the whole population suggest a RR of 1.27 and 1.11 associated with circulatory mortality during cold and heat exposure, respectively. https://t.co/BeetW4tyPy

Our new study on the association of high ambient temperature with hospitalizations in Brazil. Previous studies have accounted only for part of the country (<50% of the municipalities). This is the first study considering all municipalities (total of 5572) https://t.co/Nl4mWSBUdp

Our recent paper on Economic and racial disparities of the weather impact on air quality in Brazil. High-income group and mostly the whites were the most exposed population group. These findings differ dramatically from most of the existing literature. https://t.co/ktqVqD12xy

Our new study on the impact of wildfires on air pollution and health across land use categories in Brazil. Full text here: https://t.co/xsvffW5Rpz The greatest impact occurred in soybean areas in the Amazon. Sugarcane crops were also a driver of deforestation-related wildfires.

Check out our new study on the relationship between weather changes and air pollution in Brazil: https://t.co/F6bWebzEaf Over the 16-year study period, the weather impact on air pollution in Brazil was associated with over 6,500 excess deaths.

Our recent paper on birth weight following pregnancy wildfire smoke exposure in Brazil. In some Brazilian regions, we estimated an increase of 18% in low birth weight when the exposure occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy. https://t.co/VcM3kJVcgY

Our recent paper published in Nature Communications. We quantified the impacts of wildfire-related PM2.5 on 2 million hospital admissions records due to cardiorespiratory diseases in Brazil between 2008 and 2018.

Background: Studies examining the nonfatal health outcomes of exposure to air pollution have been limited by the number of pollutants studied and focus on short-term exposures. Methods: We examined...
