Pollution harms our health – but these harms are not felt equally. The lasting impacts from air and noise pollution are worse felt by vulnerable communities, and contribute to widening socioeconomic inequalities. The BEST-COST project is an EU-funded research project working to improve methodologies to better understand the socioeconomic cost of environmental stressors, focusing on air and noise pollution. The project aims to support improved policies and practices that reduce the burden of disease, and create living and working environments that are more health-promoting, equitable and sustainable. EuroHealthNet sits down with different researchers from BEST-COST to learn more about their process in working on these BEST-COST research methods and tools – to break down the scientific process and ask them what the conclusions mean for policymaking. BEST-COST is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement No.101095408
