Abstract

In this article, early career members of the Epidemiology and Environment Assembly of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) summarise a selection of four poster and oral sessions from the ERS 2023 Congress. The topics covered the following areas: micro- and macro-environments and respiratory health, occupational upper and lower airway diseases, selected tobacco and nicotine research, and multimorbidity in people with lung diseases. The topics and studies covered in this review illustrate the broad range of the multifaceted research taking place within Assembly 6, from the identification of indoor and outdoor environmental risk factors for the development and worsening of respiratory diseases to the concerningly increasing use of nicotine products and their health consequences beyond respiratory health and comorbidity in respiratory diseases.
