Impact of Circadian Disruptors—Air Pollution, Light, and Noise—on Cardiovascular Disease: Findings from Animal Studies

Posted in

A new research initiative is emphasizing the growing concern of environmental pollution—particularly air, noise, and light pollution—due to its significant ties to severe health issues like cardiovascular disease and premature death. The introduction of technologies such as LED lighting has changed how we experience artificial light, disrupting natural biological rhythms and affecting our health. This Research Topic aims to leverage animal models to investigate the impact of various pollutants on cardiovascular health, exploring physiological, genetic, and behavioral responses to different pollution types. Areas of focus will include the influence of artificial light on circadian rhythms, the effects of chronic noise and air pollution, and potential transgenerational health consequences. Researchers are encouraged to submit original studies and reviews that can reveal underlying mechanisms and inform strategies to mitigate the health impacts of pollution amidst ongoing climate challenges.
