MARKOPOLO Researchers Showcase Environmental Health Research at EXPOHEALTH and SFRR-E 2026
Last week, MARKOPOLO partners participated in the EXPOHEALTH Preconference Symposium and the SFRR-E Annual Meeting in Mainz, Germany, contributing to discussions on environmental exposures, redox biology, and human health. The EXPOHEALTH symposium brought together researchers from a wide range of disciplines to explore how environmental factors such as air pollution, noise, climate hazards, and non-optimal… Continue reading MARKOPOLO Researchers Showcase Environmental Health Research at EXPOHEALTH and SFRR-E 2026
New publication: Environmental risk factors and cardiovascular health
MARKOPOLO researchers under the lead of Thomas Münzel (UMC Mainz) have contributed to this consensus statement of the European Society of Cardiology. Summary: Environmental risk factors—air pollution, noise, heat, chemical contamination, and light pollution—are increasingly recognized as key contributors to cardiovascular disease but remain underrepresented in clinical guidelines and public health strategies. This comprehensive review,… Continue reading New publication: Environmental risk factors and cardiovascular health
The impact of environmental pollution and climatechange on hypertension: a position paper by theEuropean Society of Hypertension (ESH) WorkingGroup on Environment in Hypertension
This position paper from the ESH Working Group on Environment and Hypertension synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of environmental pollution in the development of hypertension. It highlights the mechanistic pathways involving oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and neurohormonal dysregulation triggered by pollution exposure. Importantly, the paper outlines mitigation strategies at both population and… Continue reading The impact of environmental pollution and climatechange on hypertension: a position paper by theEuropean Society of Hypertension (ESH) WorkingGroup on Environment in Hypertension
