inewsource | Rising hydrogen sulfide gas and bacteria levels linked to sewage pollution in the Tijuana River are raising health concerns in San Diego County, prompting calls for better public alerts and coordinated response to protect residents.

KSAT | A smoldering mulch fire in Bexar County has caused smoky conditions and air quality concerns across parts of San Antonio as shifting winds spread smoke through the area.

JAMA Network | Recent EPA rollbacks on mercury and hazardous air pollutant regulations from power plants have raised public health concerns, as experts warn weaker standards and reduced monitoring could increase exposure to toxic heavy metals.

Euronews.com | A new study found that poorer regions in Europe face significantly higher mortality risks from air pollution due to socioeconomic vulnerability, weaker healthcare systems, and lower adoption of clean energy and pollution controls.

The Guardian | New research shows that so-called “smokeless” fuels may produce significantly higher levels of ultrafine particles than wood or coal, potentially creating new indoor and outdoor air pollution health risks despite producing less visible smoke.

NASA Earthdata | NASA has launched a new global database that compiles data from low-cost ground-based air quality sensors to support pollution research, provide local air quality insights, and help validate satellite measurements.

Environmental Defense Fund | EDF’s Air Tracker is a real-time mapping tool that combines air pollution data and weather forecasting to help communities identify pollution sources and take action to improve local air quality.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania | The Pennsylvania DEP will hold a public meeting and hearing on a proposed air quality plan approval for Shell’s Monaca facility, which includes upgrades to pollution control systems and wastewater treatment operations.

Nature | A study comparing multiple AI models for forecasting nitrogen dioxide and ozone levels in Abu Dhabi found that Transformer models delivered the most accurate air quality predictions, especially when accounting for interactions between pollutants.

Health Policy Watch | Experts warn that the combined effects of heat and short-lived “super pollutants” like methane and black carbon are intensifying health risks globally, particularly in developing regions, while rapid reductions could significantly curb climate change and prevent millions of deaths.
