Policy Brief
Using the 2014–2019 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) combined adult data and existing state, county, and city tobacco control policies and neighborhood-level data on social drivers of health, this brief examines variations in local tobacco policies and their relationship with smoking behaviors, particularly among priority populations disproportionately impacted by tobacco.

Journal Article
Using 2015–2018 California Health Interview Survey data, authors evaluated the health and economic impacts of work loss due to sickness associated with daily all-source and wildfire-specific particulate matter exposures in California.

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Parkinson's Disease in Central California (Environmental Research)
Researchers investigated the long-term impacts of traffic-related and multiple sources of particulate air pollution on Parkinson's Disease in central California. They assessed exposure at residential and occupational locations from 1981 to 2016, estimating annual average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations.

Journal Article
Authors aimed to study the association of short-term daily total particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure with work loss due to sickness among adults living in California. They used 2015 to 2018 California Health Interview Survey data (CHIS) on adults in the workforce living in California.

Journal Article
Summary: Type 2 diabetes has raised great public health concerns due to its association with the increased risk of several adverse health outcomes. Authors aimed to investigate the association of criteria air pollutants and traffic density with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and antidiabetic medication use in California.

Journal Article
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease with etiology rooted in genetic vulnerability and environmental factors. Authors combine quantitative epidemiologic study of pesticide exposures and PD with toxicity screening in dopaminergic neurons derived from PD patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to identify Parkinson's-relevant pesticides.

Journal Article
Since 2016, California has implemented a series of policies, including prohibiting the sale of tobacco products and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to persons under 21, cigarette tax increase, and recreational marijuana legalization. The study aims to examine the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and marijuana among young adults (ages 18–25) and their associations with other factors in the context of these policy changes.

The impacts of air pollution on public health have become a great concern worldwide. Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5μm (PM2.5), either from conventional sources such as traffic emissions or wildfire smoke, is among the most damaging air pollutant and has been documented to cause both acute and chronic diseases and their exacerbations. Owing to increasing economic activities, consumption of natural gases, and wildfires, the concentration of PM2.
