New research co-authored by UC Berkeley School of Public Health postdoc Helen Pitchik and Community Health Sciences Professor Lia Fernald found that a seven-year follow-up of a 2012 Bangladesh trial showed lasting gains in children’s cognitive and social-emotional development.

Said Pitchik, "This study adds important evidence on an approach that could confer long term benefits for child well-being.”

We know exposure to wildfire smoke is unhealthy, but what about when the air clears? A UC Berkeley-led study found that repeated, long-term exposure to wildfire smoke significantly increases the risk of death. Researchers observed a 7% higher chance of mortality for highly exposed individuals, particularly those aged 60-75 and of Black race/ethnicity.

These findings emphasize the critical need for public health measures and protective actions, even when smoke levels are low.

Researchers found a higher chance of mortality for those highly exposed to wildfire smoke than for those minimally exposed over a three year period.
