In urban areas, environmental exposures to air pollution, extreme temperatures and noise as well as socio-economic inequalities are amplified. Urban green spaces offer dual benefits: they help mitigate climate change and improve public health by fostering connection to nature, reducing noise and air pollution, mitigating the urban heat island effect, and promoting physical activity. Within the 2023 "Cobenefici di Salute ed equità a supporto dei piani di risposta ai cambiamenti climatici in Italia" project funded by the Ministry of Health, we identified health indicators to assess climate action co-benefits, including those on cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity, birth outcomes and mental health.

Air pollution has no borders. Over 90% of the global population breathes air contaminated daily by pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10), ozone, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with serious consequences for public health and the environment.

Association between long-term exposure to air pollution and incidence of peripheral artery disease: Evidence from a longitudinal study.

Introduction: The association between air pollution and cardiovascular diseases is well established. However, fewer studies focused on the relationship between air pollution and peripheral artery disease (PAD), notwithstanding that not only it is a predictor of CVD mortality but also that incidence is globally rising, particularly in low-middle income countries.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and the incidence of PAD in the Rome Longitudinal Study (RLS) during 2011-2019.

Temporal change in minimum mortality temperature under changing climate: A multicountry multicommunity observational study spanning 1986-2015.

Background: The minimum mortality temperature (MMT) or MMT percentile (MMTP) is an indicator of population susceptibility to nonoptimum temperatures. MMT and MMTP change over time; however, the changing directions show region-wide heterogeneity. We examined the heterogeneity of temporal changes in MMT and MMTP across multiple communities and in multiple countries.

The River Sacco Basin (Rsb) is a site of National interest, characterized by several environmental pressures such as industrial facilities. This study investigates the association between long-term exposure to industrial-PM10 and -NOx and cause-specific mortality (non-accidental, cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer) in the Rsb in the 2006-2018 period. We enrolled 301,681 residents near 14 major industrial plants (grouped into 5 30-km2 spatial domains).
