New research from IBES Associate Professor Allan Just and Faculty Fellow Joseph Braun, both epidemiologists in the Brown University School of Public Health, suggests that poor air quality increases marathon runners' race times.
Analyzing 16 years of race results and air pollution levels, a team of researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health found that poor air quality had a negative effect on marathon times.
An analysis by Brown University researchers found an association between the use of personal care products and concentrations of PFAS in people who were pregnant or lactating.
