UPRISE
Making the invisible risks visible.
UPRISE reveals how air pollution affects unborn children and helps shape policies for healthier generations.
UPRISE is an innovative research project investigating how tiny airborne pollutants—ultrafine particles (UFPs) and micro-nanoplastics (MNPs)—affect fetal health. These invisible pollutants, released from traffic, industry, and plastic waste, are becoming a growing concern for expectant parents.
Our goal is to understand how exposure to these pollutants during pregnancy may contribute to preterm birth (PTB) and other health complications, increasing the risk of diseases later in life. By combining expertise from environmental science, medicine, and public health, UPRISE will provide crucial scientific evidence to support policies that protect pregnant individuals and their unborn babies.
Together, we can take action to create a cleaner, healthier future for the next generation.
