A new data resource for England, linking child health, education, census and environmental datasets for research into how the local environment affects children’s health as they grow 🌱 https://kenvh-cohort.org.uk/
Presentations
🎤 Prof. Pia Hardelid: Using Linked Data to Estimate Air Pollution’s Impact on Children’s Health & Education
📊 Dr Joana Cruz: PM2.5 Exposure & Disparities Around Childcare Providers

🌿 Proud to represent the Environmental Child Health Research Group at the 2025 UKHSA Air Pollution Research Review in Newcastle! 💨
#ChildHealth #AirPollution #EnvironmentalHealth #UKHSA #ECHRG #UCL
🌬️ 96% of England's nurseries are exposed to unsafe air pollution (PM₂.₅) — above WHO limits.
Young children especially vulnerable 🧒
21,000+ sites analysed (2018–2022)
🏙️ Higher in urban, deprived & diverse areas
We need:
🚗 Less traffic
🌳 More green space
📊 Better monitoring

Beyond the sessions, we enjoyed exploring Cardiff & had a great time at the evening reception at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama 🎶
🙏 A huge thank you to ADR UK & ADR Wales for such an amazing conference! #ADRUK2025
We enjoyed brilliant keynotes from:
⭐ Nisha de Silva (Ministry of Justice UK, Data First & BOLD)
⭐ Tom Emery (Erasmus University Rotterdam)
⭐ Helena Benes Matos da Silva (Cidacs Brazil)
⭐ Emily Jefferson & Fergus McDonald (HDR UK and DARE)
Amal Rammah shared analysis of pollution exposure in the first year of life and time to first bronchiolitis-related hospital admission in a London birth cohort 🌫️🏥
Niloofar Shoari highlighted data challenges & service use patterns in mental health care for children & young people in England. Crucial evidence for improving support systems 🧠💙
Difei Shi presented findings from ECHILD exploring how maternal contact with social care services relates to children’s health and educational outcomes. Linking data to understand intergenerational effects 🧩📊
Selin Akaraci shared research on fine particulate matter and its link to amoxicillin dispensing in infants in Scotland. A key step in understanding how pollution affects early childhood infections 🌫️💊
@perhapsitspia.bsky.social presented on the Kids Environment & Health Cohort, showing how this unique dataset can support research on the environmental factors shaping child health🌍👶
Our team had a fantastic time at #ADRUK2025 in Cardiff 🐉
We joined researchers, policymakers & practitioners to explore how administrative data can transform health, social care, education & more.
A quick thread on our highlights 🧵

Great to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk.
Important to think about cooling homes as well as warming them!
