Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Itai Kloog"
Itai Kloog's recent research focuses on the intersection of environmental factors, such as air quality and temperature, with health outcomes during pregnancy and early childhood, exploring their implications for conditions like asthma, obesity, and cancer.
The studies emphasize the impact of outdoor air pollution on childhood health by investigating associations between prenatal exposures (e.g., fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) and childhood diseases like asthma and eczema, as well as examining metabolic disruptors during pregnancy.
Kloog also employs advanced statistical methods to assess health risks associated with pollutants, such as multi-resolution models for predicting nitrogen dioxide concentrations and studies on placental DNA methylation related to air pollution exposure, revealing potential mechanisms affecting child development.
