Asthma is a leading cause of hospitalizations for children. It can be made worse by housing and neighborhood characteristics. There are powerful inequities that drive racial disparities in asthma in NYC.
As the climate changes, we track New York City's risk for extreme heat, storms and flooding, and episodes of elevated ozone. These have important public health impacts: already, heat kills more people than all other natural disasters.
The design and conditions of buildings, streets, public transportation and parks influence physical activity, use of active transportation and other healthy behavior. A neighborhood's features can also impact the safety of its residents.
Housing conditions can drive health outcomes like asthma, lead poisoning, and carbon monoxide poisoning. We track housing neighborhood characteristics that can put people at risk - and special populations that are vulnerable.
Air pollution is one of the most important environmental threats to people who live in urban areas. Exposures are linked to respiratory and heart diseases, cancers, and premature deaths. Meanwhile, emissions, levels of exposure, and population vulnerability vary across neighborhoods.
