Earth Day is today, and new research from Mass Gen Earth Day is today, and new research from Mass General Brigham highlights how closely environmental health and human health are connected. 🌍💨

A new study from investigators at Mass General Brigham, including Regan Bergmark, MD, MPH, finds that air pollution, especially fine particles, can damage the nose and sinuses, increasing the risk of conditions like rhinitis and chronic sinus disease. Climate change is making these risks worse, with longer pollen seasons, more wildfire smoke, and higher pollution levels leading to greater exposure over time.

The good news? New tools, including wearable technologies, are helping researchers better understand real‑world exposure and its impact on health, opening the door to improved prevention and care.

Learn more in the video below featuring Dr. Bergmark and what these findings mean for everyday health.
