It was estimated that ≃2.4 billion workers were exposed to excessive workplace temperatures in 2020.
@robertdmeade and colleagues highlight the need for solutions aimed at reducing heat at work and home to protect the most vulnerable workers

With @mccstudy and global experts, we estimated that landscape fire smoke was associated with 1.5 million deaths annually from 2000 to 2019. Alarmingly, this burden has been increasing, with the majority of deaths occurring in LTMICs. Congrats @RongbinXu
