Sharing Research Linking Air Pollutants and Metabolic Diseases
The Ask: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences sought to share high-impact, scientifically rigorous research with the public, including studies the connect air pollution exposure to human health risks.
The Solution: MDB condensed the technical publication into a simplified, plain-language summary in a monthly Research Brief. It highlighted how scientists reported that prenatal exposure to the air pollutant benzene increased the risk of metabolic disorders later in life.
Notable Outcomes: Both the clients and the lead author on the paper praised the brief for translating complex science on air pollution’s health effects into clear, accessible insights for a wider audience.
