Background: In 2019, an explosion at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refinery, one of the largest urban oil refineries in the U.S., led to its shuttering and transition into redevelopment. Local fenceline communities, previously impacted by refinery operations, expressed concern about air toxics, particularly benzene, released during the decommissioning process. To monitor volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene, in fenceline commu…
Local Violence as an Environmental Exposure with Increasing Relevance under Climate Change
Violent crime is increasing worldwide with climate change and ambient heat, with greater increases projected in communities already high in crime or lacking resources for mitigation, exacerbating inequities in exposures and health. Our work has shown that violent crime-as a severe psychosocial stressor-can exacerbate effects of climate-related heat and pollution on health. In addition, as heat is associated with greater violence, and both heat an…
Air Pollution and Preterm Birth
Background/Objectives: Air pollution is a recognized risk factor for preterm birth (PTB), a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The biological mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear, partly because PTB is a composite outcome that includes both spontaneous (sPTB, from preterm labor or rupture of membranes) and medically indicated (mPTB, for conditions such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction) subtypes. Additiona…
Gender and violent crime modify associations between greenspace and cardiovascular disease mortality in Philadelphia, PA
Perception Matters
Urban air pollution is consistently linked to poorer respiratory health, particularly in communities of lower socioeconomic position (SEP), disproportionately located near highways and industrial areas and often with elevated exposures to chronic psychosocial stressors. Fewer studies, however, have considered air pollution itself as a psychosocial stressor and whether pollution may be impacting health through both direct physiologic and psychosoc…
Does Urban Greenspace Reduce Mortality Inequalities Based on Poverty, Race, or Both in Philadelphia, PA
Benzene and NO2 Exposure during Pregnancy and Preterm Birth in Two Philadelphia Hospitals, 2013–2017
Infants born preterm are at risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm birth (PTB) can be categorized as either spontaneous (sPTB) or medically indicated (mPTB), resulting from distinct pathophysiologic processes such as preterm labor or preeclampsia, respectively. A growing body of literature has demonstrated the impacts of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and benzene exposure on PTB, though few studies have investigated how these associations ma…
Associations between Greenspace and Gentrification-Related Sociodemographic and Housing Cost Changes in Major Metropolitan Areas across the United States
Neighborhood greenspace may attract new residents and lead to sociodemographic or housing cost changes. We estimated relationships between greenspace and gentrification-related changes in the 43 largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) of the United States (US). We used the US National Land Cover and Brown University Longitudinal Tracts databases, as well as spatial lag models, to estimate census tract-level associations between percentage g…
Gender Differences in Impacts of Place-Based Neighborhood Greening Interventions on Fear of Violence Based on a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
A Cumulative Risk Perspective for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Professionals
Cumulative risk assessment (CRA) addresses the combined risk associated with chemical and non-chemical exposures. Although CRA approaches are utilized in environmental and ecological contexts, they are rarely applied in workplaces. In this perspectives article, we strive to raise awareness among occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals and foster the greater adoption of a CRA perspective in practice. Specifically, we provide an overview…
Geocoding Error, Spatial Uncertainty, and Implications for Exposure Assessment and Environmental Epidemiology
Although environmental epidemiology studies often rely on geocoding procedures in the process of assigning spatial exposure estimates, geocoding methods are not commonly reported, nor are consequent errors in exposure assignment explored. Geocoding methods differ in accuracy, however, and, given the increasing refinement of available exposure models for air pollution and other exposures, geocoding error may account for an increasingly larger prop…
Neighborhood Violent Crime and Perceived Stress in Pregnancy
Stress has been shown to adversely affect pregnancy outcomes. Neighborhood crime rates may serve as one publicly available social determinant of health for pregnancy studies that use registry or electronic health record datasets in which individual-level stress data are not available. We sought to determine whether neighborhood violent crime incidents were associated with measured perceived stress in a largely minority, urban pregnancy cohort. We…
Assessment of Spatial Variability across Multiple Pollutants in Auckland, New Zealand
Spatial saturation studies using source-specific chemical tracers are commonly used to examine intra-urban variation in exposures and source impacts, for epidemiology and policy purposes. Most such studies, however, has been performed in North America and Europe, with substantial regional combustion-source contributions. In contrast, Auckland, New Zealand, a large western city, is relatively isolated in the south Pacific, with minimal impact from…
Putting Co-Exposures on Equal Footing
Epidemiologic evidence consistently links urban air pollution exposures to health, even after adjustment for potential spatial confounding by socioeconomic position (SEP), given concerns that air pollution sources may be clustered in and around lower-SEP communities. SEP, however, is often measured with less spatial and temporal resolution than are air pollution exposures (i.e., census-tract socio-demographics vs. fine-scale spatio-temporal air p…

Violent crime and socioeconomic deprivation in shaping asthma-related pollution susceptibility
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to quantify and compare the relative influence of community violent crime and socioeconomic deprivation in modifying associations between ozone and emergency department (ED) visits for asthma among children. METHODS: We used a spatiotemporal case-crossover analysis for all New York City EDs for the months May-September from 2005 to 2011 from a statewide administrative ED dataset. The data included 11 71…
Fine-Scale Source Apportionment Including Diesel-Related Elemental and Organic Constituents of PM2.5 across Downtown Pittsburgh
Health effects of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) may vary by composition, and the characterization of constituents may help to identify key PM 2.5 sources, such as diesel, distributed across an urban area. The composition of diesel particulate matter (DPM) is complicated, and elemental and organic carbon are often used as surrogates. Examining multiple elemental and organic constituents across urban sites, however, may better capture variation…
Methods for Evaluating the Combined Effects of Chemical and Nonchemical Exposures for Cumulative Environmental Health Risk Assessment
Cumulative risk assessment (CRA) has been proposed as a means of evaluating possible additive and synergistic effects of multiple chemical, physical and social stressors on human health, with the goal of informing policy and decision-making, and protecting public health. Routine application of CRA to environmental regulatory and policy decision making, however, has been limited due to a perceived lack of appropriate quantitative approaches for as…
Spatial Patterns in Rush-Hour vs. Work-Week Diesel-Related Pollution across a Downtown Core
Despite advances in monitoring and modelling of intra-urban variation in multiple pollutants, few studies have attempted to separate spatial patterns by time of day, or incorporated organic tracers into spatial monitoring studies. Due to varying emissions sources from diesel and gasoline vehicular traffic, as well as within-day temporal variation in source mix and intensity (e.g., rush-hours vs. full-day measures), accurately assessing diesel-rel…

Is All Urban Green Space the Same? A Comparison of the Health Benefits of Trees and Grass in New York City
Living near vegetation, often called "green space" or "greenness", has been associated with numerous health benefits. We hypothesized that the two key components of urban vegetation, trees and grass, may differentially affect health. We estimated the association between near-residence trees, grass, and total vegetation (from the 2010 High Resolution Land Cover dataset for New York City (NYC)) with self-reported health from a survey of NYC adults …
Engaging Communities in Research on Cumulative Risk and Social Stress-Environment Interactions
Studies have documented cumulative health effects of chemical and nonchemical exposures, particularly chronic environmental and social stressors. Environmental justice groups have advocated for community participation in research that assesses how these interactions contribute to health disparities experienced by low-income and communities of color. In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a request for research applications (RFA)…
Identifying Perceived Neighborhood Stressors Across Diverse Communities in New York City
There is growing interest in the role of psychosocial stress in health disparities. Identifying which social stressors are most important to community residents is critical for accurately incorporating stressor exposures into health research. Using a community‐academic partnered approach, we designed a multi‐community study across the five boroughs of New York City to characterize resident perceptions of key neighborhood stressors. We conducted 1…
A growing role for gender analysis in air pollution epidemiology
Epidemiologic studies of air pollution effects on respiratory health report significant modification by sex, although results are not uniform. Importantly, it remains unclear whether modifications are attributable to socially derived gendered exposures, to sex-linked physiological differences, or to some interplay thereof. Gender analysis, which aims to disaggregate social from biological differences between males and females, may help to elucida…
Work and its role in shaping the social gradient in health
Adults with better jobs enjoy better health: job title was, in fact, the social gradient metric first used to study the relationship between social class and chronic disease etiology, a core finding now replicated in most developed countries. What has been less well proved is whether this correlation is causal , and if so, through what mechanisms. During the past decade, much research has been directed at these issues. Best evidence in 2009 sugge…

A framework for examining social stress and susceptibility to air pollution in respiratory health
There is growing interest in disentangling the health effects of spatially clustered social and physical environmental exposures and in exploring potential synergies among them, with particular attention directed to the combined effects of psychosocial stress and air pollution. Both exposures may be elevated in lower-income urban communities, and it has been hypothesized that stress, which can influence immune function and susceptibility, may pot…
