Eco-efficient construction and building materials research under the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2014, background): “Green building envelope is particularly important because recent investigations show that there is a strong correlation between the lack of green infrastructures in the urban environment and the increase of allergy related health problems [69].”
Large carabid beetle declines in a United Kingdom monitoring network increases evidence for a widespread loss in insect biodiversity (2012, background): “Global biodiversity declines have serious repercussions for human health and well-being (Hanski et al. 2012).”

The rarity of direct experiences of nature in an urban population (2017, positive): “…for reduced all-cause mortality and mortality from cardiovascular disease (Donovan et al., 2013; Mitchell & Popham, 2008), reduced allergies (Hanski et al., 2012), enhanced general and self-reported health (e.g. Groenewegen, van den Berg, Mass, Verheij, & de Vries, 2012; Maas, Verheij,…”
Mainstreaming ecosystem services into EU policy (2013, background): “The magnitude of estimates provided by the case studies proved that such value may easily be in a range of billions of euros, and may increase if the avoided cost for health care due to recreation restorative and stress reduction capacity is included [40–43].”
The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes (2015, background): “(297) showed that declining environmental biodiversity is associated with reduced microbial diversity on human skin and enhanced allergic disposition, as shown through significant interactions with Enterobacteriaceae.”
Nature Contact and Human Health: A Research Agenda (2017, background): “…contact with microbial and other antigens in natural settings during particular developmental windows may modify immune function over the lifespan (Hanski et al. 2012; Kondrashova et al. 2013; Nicolaou et al. 2005; Rook 2013; Ruokolainen et al. 2015; Stiemsma et al. 2015), perhaps operating…”
Humans and Nature: How Knowing and Experiencing Nature Affect Well-Being (2013, background): “, recent research that biodiversity around where people live correlates positively with human microbiotic diversity and may contribute to greater immunological tolerances (38)].”
