Johan Nilsson Sommar is an Associate Professor in occupational and environmental medical research at Umeå University's Department of Epidemiology and Global Health. He specializes in air pollution, physical activity, and their impacts on health. His research focuses on the health effects of air pollution sources on mortality and morbidity, particularly cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as subclinical outcomes like atherosclerosis. He also investigates active transport (e.g., cycling vs. car use) and its health trade-offs, including physical activity benefits, pollution exposure, and accident risks.
He leads the research group Air pollution, climate and health and is involved in the VIPVIZA project (2013–2027), funded by EU grants (e.g., €9.4M in January 2024). His work integrates mathematical statistics to model complex environmental and health relationships.
No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His research spans interdisciplinary collaborations, blending epidemiology, environmental science, and public health policy.
