Wildfire smoke exposure and early childhood respiratory health: a study of prescription claims data
Wildfire smoke is associated with short-term respiratory outcomes including asthma exacerbation in children. As investigations into developmental wildfire smoke exposure on children’s longer-term respiratory health are sparse, we investigated associations between developmental wildfire smoke exposure and first use of respiratory medications. Prescription claims from IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database were linked with wildfire smoke plume data from NASA satellites based on Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)

Call for papers: Risk Assessment of Microbial Pesticides
Environmental Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on Risk Assessment of Microbial Pesticides. Microbial pesticides are part of a sustainable agriculture strategy, but due to their unique nature, tools for assessing hazards and risks require different approaches compared to chemical pesticides. This Collection is focused on problem formulation and finding solutions to advance microbial hazard testing, which will help to inform regulatory decisions about microbial pesticides.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
