National Centre for Atmospheric Science | A new report from the Royal College of Physicians urges the UK to treat air pollution as a public health crisis, with contributions from University of York scientists highlighting its broad health impacts and the need for systemic policy change. The report advocates for revised air quality standards, innovation in clean technology like hydrogen engines, and the use of systems thinking to address the complex social and environmental factors driving pollution.

Arizona Emergency Information Network | A High Pollution Advisory (HPA) has been issued in Maricopa County due to elevated levels of ground-level ozone, prompting restrictions on wood burning, off-highway vehicles, and government leaf blower use. Residents are urged to reduce emissions by using public transit, conserving electricity, avoiding solvent use, and delaying activities like painting and yard work during the advisory.

Cobb County Courier | A Code Orange air quality alert has been issued for metro Atlanta on June 26, signaling air that is unhealthy for sensitive groups including children, the elderly, and those with respiratory or heart conditions. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division advises limiting outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours due to elevated ozone levels from vehicle emissions and industrial pollution.

Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District | Santa Barbara County APCD has launched an upgraded Permitted Facilities Map offering public access to detailed records on all stationary pollution sources in the region. The tool now includes 10 years of emissions data, real-time AQI, and enhanced usability features, promoting transparency and community engagement.

Teslarati | The City of Memphis reported no dangerous air pollutant levels at three monitoring sites, including one near xAI’s new data center, prompting praise from Mayor Young and xAI. However, critics argue the findings are incomplete, pointing to the omission of ozone testing and raising concerns over smog-forming emissions from xAI’s unpermitted gas turbines.
