A collaborative cluster on the role of environmental pollution in non-communicable diseases: air, noise and light and hazardous waste pollution.
To maximise synergies, prevent overlaps and enhance impact, seven Horizon Europe projects form a collaborative cluster – ExpoHealthNet. The ExpoHealthNet cluster unites cutting-edge research projects set to investigate how environmental stressors contribute to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and immune-mediated conditions. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, ExpoHealthNet aims to drive impactful research on the health risks of air pollution, noise, hazardous waste, and climate change.
Traffic noise is an underestimated cardiovascular risk factor. New evidence from the EEA 2025 report shows how transport noise contributes to hypertension, atherosclerosis and heart disease, with implications for medicine, prevention and policy.
A new ClimAIr report reviews scientific evidence on the short-term effects of outdoor air pollution on allergic rhinitis, highlighting impacts on symptoms and healthcare use.
EXPOSIM will host its first EXPOSIM symposium on 5 February 2026 (15:00–17:00 CET), bringing together leading experts to explore how exposome research can inform public health, environmental and equity-focused decision-making.
An exposome symposium for researchers interested in environmental exposures and dementia.
Discover how the new Parent Advisory Board ensures UPRISE research is relevant, accessible, and guided by real family experiences.
Discover how the exposome links environmental exposures to major health outcomes and why combined-exposure research is essential for public health.
