PreventionWeb.net | University of Minnesota researchers developed AI-guided aerial robots that can enter and analyze wildfire smoke plumes to create 3D data for improving air quality modeling and early fire detection.

The Guardian | Air pollution has decreased overall in England and Wales, but a new Friends of the Earth analysis shows that the poorest and most diverse neighbourhoods are now disproportionately exposed to the worst remaining pollution, highlighting a growing environmental injustice.

European Environment Agency – European Union | A new EEA report finds that environmental factors like air pollution, noise, toxic chemicals, and extreme weather contribute to at least 18% of cardiovascular deaths in the EU, urging stronger implementation of pollution and climate policies to reduce disease risk and support healthier environments.

ABC News | Aerosol physicist and Queensland University of Technology professor Lidia Morawska, named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2021, has received Australia’s $250,000 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science for her pioneering research on ultrafine air pollutants and airborne disease transmission that reshaped global health guidelines.

ThePrint | Delhi’s air quality deteriorated to a “very poor” AQI of 366 on Sunday as weak winds trapped pollutants, with PM2.5 and PM10 levels rising sharply and several stations recording “severe” air quality.

Modesto Bee | The National Weather Service issued an air quality alert through Monday afternoon for parts of Southern California, as the South Coast AQMD enforced a no-burn order to reduce fine particle pollution and protect public health.
