Bertil Forsberg är senior professor i miljömedicin vid Hållbar hälsa. 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. Bertil Forsberg driver även forskning kring hälsoeffekter av klimatförändringar och extremväder. Bertil Forsberg är medförfattare till mer än 300 vetenskapliga artiklar som citerats nära 40 000 gånger och han har ett h-index på 99 (Google scholar mars 2024). I 2nd edition of Research.com ranking av forskare inom det medicinska området utifrån deras Discipline H-index (December 2022) placerades Bertil Forsberg som nr 5 vid Umeå universitet.
