KSL News | New research shows dust from the drying Great Salt Lake can contaminate leafy vegetables with toxic metals like arsenic and uranium, highlighting a potential food-based exposure risk and the need for expanded monitoring.

BBC | Airborne microplastics shed from everyday synthetic materials accumulate indoors, potentially exposing people to millions of inhaled particles annually, though simple household and behavioral changes can help reduce this risk.

Reuters | U.S. clean-air progress faces setbacks as coal plants remain online to meet rising AI-driven electricity demand, worsening pollution and disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities in cities like St. Louis.

Planet Detroit | After 13 years, the EPA has redesignated the Detroit River area as meeting sulfur dioxide standards following major pollution reductions, though advocates warn the slow progress prolonged significant health risks for residents.

HHR Journal | Despite causing up to 200,000 premature deaths annually in the United States, air pollution remains underrecognized as regulatory rollbacks and policy shifts increasingly sideline its public health and human rights impacts.

Earth.com | NASA’s PACE satellite can now map nitrogen dioxide pollution at high spatial resolution, enabling researchers to pinpoint emissions from individual sources like highways and factories while improving air quality monitoring and health analysis.
