The Rockefeller Foundation | Our Common Air is building global momentum for treating clean air as a shared economic asset by convening world leaders, securing major financing commitments, and pushing toward international accountability frameworks to reduce air pollution and its massive health and economic costs.

USGBC | Boston Public Schools launched a districtwide indoor air quality monitoring program with public dashboards and response protocols, creating a transparent and scalable model for improving air quality in K-12 schools.

LehighValleyNews.com | A regional monitoring study found that PM2.5 levels across Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley generally meet U.S. standards but still exceed stricter World Health Organization guidelines, with lower pollution in residential areas farther from highways and concerns that regulatory monitors miss local exposure risks.

Nature | A new study presents MAST-Net, a hybrid CNN–LSTM deep learning model that fuses satellite, meteorological, and ground data to significantly improve real-time prediction of major air pollutants across urban areas.

Boyle Heights Beat | Community groups in Boyle Heights and East LA are launching a paid, resident-led air quality monitoring network that will install 10 monitors and empower local youth and adults to guide data collection and environmental justice advocacy.

Euronews.com | EU auditors found that the environmental impact of LIFE programme strategic projects is unclear due to weak monitoring, prioritisation, and reporting, raising concerns as the European Commission awards hundreds of millions more in funding and considers folding LIFE into broader competitiveness funds.

LSE Blogs | Economic evidence shows that severe air pollution in India is not just a health crisis but a significant drag on productivity, equity, and long-term growth, disproportionately harming informal workers and small firms while slowing national economic development.

AGU Journals – Wiley | A decade-long analysis of China’s Spring Festival emission reductions shows that meteorology, especially cloud cover and radiation, now dominates oxidant (O₃ + NO₂) responses, overturning expected benefits from NOx cuts and underscoring the need for climate-aware, adaptive air pollution control policies.

Envirotech Online | Ostara, a new air quality monitoring station by nke and exclusively distributed in the UK by Aquaread, offers customizable, real-time monitoring of air pollutants, weather conditions, and even water quality through an integrated, remote-access platform.

The Guardian | A study found that airline passengers are exposed to extremely high levels of harmful ultrafine particle pollution during boarding, taxiing, and landing, often exceeding WHO-defined high levels, while aircraft and airport emissions also spread this pollution into surrounding communities.
