- How air pollution may affect fertility
A study in the Human Reproduction journal found that exposure to outdoor air pollutants like ozone and nitrogen dioxide during sperm development may alter DNA methylation in sperm, potentially affecting fertility and offspring health. Researchers identified 39 methylation changes linked to pollutants, including the gene GNAS associated with embryonic development.
- Study reveals how genetics and environment shape disease risk
A Penn State study found that environmental factors like air pollution can have a greater impact on disease risk than genetics. Researchers analyzed 50 million health records and linked pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide to increased risks of asthma, COPD, diabetes, and high cholesterol. The study emphasizes lifestyle changes, like eating more fruits/vegetables and monitoring air quality, to mitigate these risks.

A Penn State study found that environmental factors like air pollution have a greater impact on disease risk than genetics. Researchers analyzed 50 million health records and found that particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide increase risks for asthma, COPD, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Lifestyle changes and monitoring pollution levels can help reduce these risks.
