In "Waking Up to Wildfires," filmmaker Paige Bierma tells the stories of people most affected by the 2017 North Bay wildfires. We hear from survivors, firefighters, public health officials, community groups—and the scientists who are trying to make sense of it all as people struggle to recover and new fires erupt.
Our Pilot Projects Program is one of the main ways we fund environmental health research.
Facilitating real-time exposure studies on traffic related air pollution
Keith Bein, PhD
Air Quality Research Center
Toxicological studies continue to demonstrate links between exposures to traffic related air pollution (TRAP), including gases and particles, and various metrics of adverse pulmonary, cardiovascular and neurological health effects.
Our researchers are working with communities across California to study the physical and emotional impacts wildfires have had on survivors over the past several years.
