Evaluation of Remotely Sensed Inundation Data Sets to Estimate Flood‐Associated Emergency Department Visits After Hurricane Harvey
Abstract Floods can increase the risk of adverse health outcomes through multiple pathways, including contamination of food and water. Remotely sensed (RS) inundation extents can help identify regions with expected heightened flood‐related health risks, but variations across inundation data sets…

Characterizing Particulate Matter Impacts of Smoke From 2022 to 2023 Agricultural Burning in South Florida
Abstract Smoke from agricultural fires is a potentially important source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the US. Sugarcane is burned in Florida to facilitate the harvesting process, with the majority of these fires occurring in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), where there is only one…

Groundwater Chemistry and Children's Blood Lead Levels: A County‐Wise Analysis in the United States
Abstract Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in the United States (US). Groundwater chemistry can contribute to lead leaching from water supply pipes due to factors such as pH and mineral content that influence corrosion. Lead exposure disproportionately affects children from low‐income…

Surface Variable‐Based Machine Learning for Scalable Arsenic Prediction in Undersampled Areas
Abstract In the United States, private wells are not federally regulated, and many households do not test for Arsenic (As). Chronic exposure is linked with multiple health outcomes, and risk can change sharply over short distances and with well depth. Coarse maps or sparse sampling often miss…

Association of Regional Agricultural Smoke Exposure With Sociodemographic Factors in Rural and Urban Communities
Abstract Ambient air pollution remains a leading environmental risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the U.S, though most research is conducted in urban areas. Our study assessed how sociodemographic factors indicative of social vulnerability were associated with smoke from agricultural burns…

Seasonal and Meteorological Influences on Stroke Incidence and Outcomes in a Tropical Urban Setting: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study in Douala, Cameroon
Abstract Climatic factors may influence stroke patterns, but data from sub‐Saharan Africa are scarce. This study assessed the relationship between weather variables and stroke incidence, severity, mortality, and hospital stay in Douala, Cameroon. A retrospective review was conducted using medical…

A Novel Method for Generating Spatially Resolved Synthetic Populations for Health Impact Assessments in Vulnerable Populations
Abstract The spatial resolution of environmental exposure and sociodemographic population data is often mismatched given limited publicly available population data that complies with privacy requirements for individuals. To address this limitation, we developed a novel matching algorithm to…

Contrasting Patterns in Ambient PM2.5 Exposure Disparity Across Population Subgroups in Urban and Rural India
Abstract Ambient PM2.5 exposure poses the greatest environmental risk to public health in India. While several studies have quantified the changing patterns of exposure, the extent of inequality in exposure among population subgroups at the sub‐national scale remains unknown. In this study, we…

Spatiotemporal Approaches to Assess the Association of Environmental Risk Factors With Cardiovascular Diseases: A Scoping Review
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality globally, with environmental risk factors playing a significant role in their prevalence. This review aims to critically evaluate the current methodologies employed in spatiotemporal analyses of CVDs and provides…

Choice of Downscaled Climate Product Matters: Projections of Valley Fever Seasonality in a Warming Climate
Abstract Downscaled climate projections provide valuable information needed to better understand the impacts of climate change on health outcomes and to inform adaptation and mitigation strategies at local to regional scales. Because downscaled climate products vary in their representations of…

Spatiotemporal Inequalities in the Burden of Tuberculosis Attributable to Long‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure in Mainland of China
Abstract Long‐term exposure to particulate matter (PM) pollution may directly increase the risk of developing tuberculosis (TB). Despite the known link, the multi–scale spatiotemporal variations in the burden of TB attributable to long‐term PM exposure remain largely unclear in China. In this…

A Machine Learning‐Based Dynamic SST Index for Long‐Lead Malaria Prediction in the Peruvian Amazon
Abstract Malaria imposes a major health burden in the Peruvian Amazon, and its early warning is essential for effective disease prevention. The tropical sea surface temperature (SST) variability, fundamentally shaping the global weather patterns, may also alter malaria transmission and potentially…

Too Hot, Too Wet: Bayesian Spatial Modeling of Climate‐Driven Salmonella Risk in New South Wales, Australia, 1991–2022
Abstract Salmonella infections contribute significantly to gastrointestinal‐related hospitalisations in Australia and remain a major global public health concern. Although seasonal patterns in Salmonella incidence have been documented globally, there is limited evidence on the influence of climatic…

Source Attribution of PM2.5 Health Benefits Over Northern Hemisphere Using Adjoint of Hemispheric CMAQ
Abstract The adjoint of the U.S. EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model is extended for hemispheric scale applications and is used to estimate location‐specific health impacts from primary PM2.5, and PM2.5 precursor emissions (NH3, NOX and SO2). We estimate the monetized health burden…

The True Cost of Heat: Evaluating Heat‐Related Mortality Estimation Methods in Texas
Abstract Different ways of counting heat‐related deaths (HRD) can give you very different numbers. This study examines HRD in Texas using three different definitions: The Optimal Temperature Method (OTM) estimates mortality based on deviations from a community's optimal temperature, capturing the…

Wildfire‐Specific PM2.5 Asthma Risk Across a Disproportionately Burdened Pediatric Population in Northern California
Abstract Wildfire smoke events have increased in severity and impact over the past two decades and are expected to remain a major contributor to air pollution especially in the Western U.S. Children and communities with pre‐existing environmental and socioeconomic disadvantages, such as those in…

Quantifying Vibrio Infection Risks From Beach Recreation Along U.S. Eastern Seaboard in Year 2100
Abstract Marine vibrios, a group of marine bacteria that are opportunist human pathogens, proliferates faster in coastal environments at warmer temperature. Recently, there have been significant concerns of human infection risks during marine beach recreations due to the elevation of seawater…
