Bertil Forsberg är professor i miljömedicin vid Hållbar hälsa och tidigare avdelningschef under perioden 2005 - april 2021. Han är expert på hälsoeffekter av luftföroreningar och har i flera perioder varit rådgivare åt WHO. Hans luftföroreningsforskning berör trafikföroreningar inklusive avgaser och vägdamm, vedrök, skogsbrandrök mm. Effekterna som studerats sträcker sig från graviditetspåverkan till demens, med många studier om luftvägssjukdom samt mortalitet. Förbättring av metoderna för  hälsokonsekvensberäkningar är ett specialintresse, med utvecklingsuppdrag från flera myndigheter. Han är för närvarande koordinator för hälsostudierna inom det nordiska forskningsprogrammet Nordic WelfAir (finansierat av Nordforsk). Bertil Forsberg driver även forskning kring hälsoeffekter av klimatförändringar och extremväder. Han är partner i det internationella forskningsprojektet Arctic Community Resilience to Boreal Environmental change: Assessing Risks from fire and disease (ACRoBEAR).
