Al Jazeera | For the first time, the G20 summit in Cape Town is prioritizing clean air, addressing global pollution that causes 5.7 million deaths annually amid limited international funding for air quality initiatives.

BBC | Jersey’s 2024 air quality report shows continued year-on-year improvement, with nitrogen dioxide levels steadily declining since 2000 under the island’s Carbon Neutral Roadmap.

Nature | The study finds that efficient, liquid carbon trading markets in China lead to measurable short-term improvements in air quality, particularly through reductions in PM2.5 levels.

Williams Mullen | Jessie King will moderate a panel on “PFAS Updates and TSCA Happenings” at the 2025 CAPCA Fall Meeting in Myrtle Beach, where Williams Mullen is a Gold sponsor.

ScienceDirect.com | A new diffusive ozone sampler validated at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, showed strong agreement with ultraviolet analyzer readings and high self-consistency across sampling periods, confirming its reliability for long-term polar ozone monitoring.

Nature | The study presents FLPSO-AMPS, a fuzzy logic and particle swarm optimization-based routing method that improves energy efficiency, reliability, and data delivery in wireless sensor networks for air pollution monitoring in smart cities.

Animal Legal Defense Fund | The Animal Legal Defense Fund and partner groups appealed a federal court ruling that upheld an EPA rule exempting factory farms from reporting hazardous air emissions like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, arguing the exemption violates the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and leaves nearby communities unprotected from toxic pollution.

90.5 WESA | Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab and Climate TRACE launched a global map visualizing particulate pollution from over 9,500 industrial sources, linking emissions to nearly 9 million annual deaths and supporting environmental justice advocacy worldwide.

Cornell Chronicle – Cornell University | Cornell University and the Environmental Defense Fund are studying how dust and wildfire air pollution has evolved since 1850 to better predict future impacts on health, mortality, and economies, with a focus on Latin America.

JD Supra | The Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board fined Southern Ionics Inc. $3,000 after determining its Calhoun facility exceeded sulfur dioxide emission limits and failed to report hydrogen chloride emissions in violation of its air permit.
