New EU Project to Investigate the Health Effects of Noise and Ultrafine Particles
An EU-funded research project aims to address a growing concern: the combined health effects of noise pollution and ultrafine particles, which are present in urban environments across the globe.
LIH Participates in EU Project to Tackle Health Impacts of Traffic Noise and Pollution
Starting January 1, 2025, the Luxembourg Institute of Health will be a key partner in the MARKOPOLO project, an ambitious EU-funded initiative investigating the health impacts of environmental factors such as air and noise pollution, to the onset and management of non-communicable cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, mental, and metabolic diseases.
EU-funded project to research health damage caused by traffic noise and air pollution
Professor Katja Kanninen’s research group at the A. I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences is one of the partners in the new EU-funded MARKOPOLO project. The goal is to explore the health impacts of traffic noise and air pollution with a special focus on fine and ultrafine particulate matter, using cutting-edge translational research approaches.
MARKOPOLO: EU-funded project to research health damage caused by traffic noise and air pollution starts on 01 January 2025
The MARKOPOLO EU Project will officially launch on 1st January 2025! We’re thrilled to announce the start of this innovative project aimed at researching health damage caused by traffic noise and air pollution. Check out our first pressrelease below and learn more about how MARKOPOLO will make a difference.
Support for MARKOPOLO research in Mainz on air pollution by the Wahl Stumpf Foundation
We are thrilled to share that MARKOPOLO and coordinator Andreas Daiber from University Medical Center Mainz will be supported with additional funding by the Wahl-Stumpf Foundation! Based on MARKOPOLO, the present project aims to investigate the potentially protective effects of an antihypertensive drug (ACE inhibitor) and a cholesterol-lowering drug (statin) on damage to the cardiovascular… Continue reading Support for MARKOPOLO research in Mainz on air pollution by the Wahl Stumpf Foundation
Verkehrslärm und Feinstaub: EU fördert Unimedizin-Forschung
Unter Koordination der Mainzer Kardiologie erforschen europäische Wissenschaftler die Wirkung von Umweltrisiken auf Herz-Kreislauf, Gehirn und Lunge. Das ist der EU Millionen wert.
Transportation noise and the cardiometabolic risk
💡 Transportation noise causes neurohormonal activation, sleep impairment and stress responses.💡 Noise-induced stress hormone signaling via RAAS leads to inflammation, oxidative stress and cardiovascular dysfunction.💡 Noise increases the risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases.💡 Co-exposure to noise, air pollution or lack of green space causes cumulative increase of risk for diabetes.
