Great to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk. Important to think about cooling homes as well as warming them!

How do pollution, housing, and access to green space affect our health? Check out @evieparmenter.bsky.social's blog about ADR UK-funded research on this topic and how it informs policy - including our cohort 👀 and others @rich-fry.bsky.social 📖 Read more: adruk.org/news-publica...

🌟Research from Born In Bradford explores how house moves & physical environments affect mental health Those experiencing mental health problems are more likely to move, often to areas with worse environmental quality, which may hinder recovery and reinforce inequality Links below👇

Air pollution is a serious and preventable health risk, especially for children. We echo @rcphysicians.bsky.social – urgent action is needed. Their new report shows the wide-ranging health harms of polluted air. Cohorts like ours help build the evidence for change. 📘: ow.ly/F3yq50Wc7wr
