Feinstaub – Der lautlose Killer in der Luft
New article from Felix Schmidtner in the German magazine “Spektrum” with input from MARKOPOLO coordinator Andreas Daiber and Thomas Münzel.
Transportation Noise and Cardiovascular Health: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Policy Imperatives.
🔊 Noise as a cardiovascular risk factor: Environmental noise from road, rail, and air traffic is now firmly established as a major, widespread contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Roughly one in three Europeans is chronically exposed to noise levels exceeding WHO guideline thresholds, significantly driving cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.🩺 Health outcomes: Strong meta-analytic evidence links… Continue reading Transportation Noise and Cardiovascular Health: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Policy Imperatives.
Physical activity and polluted air: implications for COPD prevention and policy
A commentary related to MARKOPOLO.
A comprehensive review/expert statement on environmental risk factors of cardiovascular disease
🚙 Chronic traffic noise activates stress hormone pathways, disrupts sleep, and induces hypertension and vascular inflammation.🌫️ Air pollution, fine particulate matter, particularly ultrafine particles (PM₂.₅, UFP), can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the bloodstream, and promote oxidative stress, endothelial injury, and atherosclerosis.☀️ Increasingly frequent heatwaves place particular strain on elderly individuals and those with pre-existing cardiovascular… Continue reading A comprehensive review/expert statement on environmental risk factors of cardiovascular disease
Wie Städte herzgesünder werden
Umweltstressoren begegnen – Städte beeinflussen unsere Herzgesundheit – im Guten wie im Schlechten. Entscheidend sind eine durchdachte Stadtplanung und politische Maßnahmen, die konsequent umgesetzt werden sollten.
