American Journal of Managed Care | New research presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress 2025 suggests that a diet high in fruits may help protect women’s lung function from the harmful effects of air pollution, though reducing pollution remains the most important priority.

Providence Business News | PACE Organization of Rhode Island reports that air quality alerts now cause senior visit cancellations to double to nearly 30%, as vulnerable participants face heightened health risks.

Wyoming Public Radio | Wyoming’s Department of Environmental Quality has stationed a mobile air monitoring unit in Wright for a year to track pollutants after the county received a failing air quality grade from the American Lung Association.

SBU News – Stony Brook University | The GOTHAAM airborne mission, the largest of its kind over New York City, used NSF/NCAR’s C-130 aircraft to study how urban, forest, ocean, and wildfire emissions interact to form smog and pollutants, aiming to generate a high-resolution baseline of atmospheric chemistry to inform public health and climate research.

California Air Resources Board – CA.gov | The California Air Resources Board adopted its 2025–2030 Five-Year Strategic Research Plan, prioritizing health, air quality, climate, mobile sources, and sustainable communities research to guide science-driven policymaking amid federal regulatory rollbacks.

The Washington Post | A study of nearly 30,000 schoolchildren in Tianjin, China found that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide increases the risk of myopia, making air quality a modifiable factor in protecting children’s eyesight.

Stockholm Environment Institute | A joint study in Dar es Salaam found PM2.5 and PM10 levels far above WHO limits, while nearly half of South Africa’s monitoring stations were offline in 2025, underscoring Africa’s urgent need for stronger air quality monitoring infrastructure.

Nature | A study in Northern Sweden found no significant link between low-level air pollution and telomere length overall, though inconclusive hints of longer telomeres among individuals later diagnosed with dementia highlight the need for further research on pollution’s cellular impacts.

UNECE | Experts under the UNECE Air Convention are developing scenarios and new monitoring tools to guide the Gothenburg Protocol revision, aiming to cut air pollution-related health and ecosystem impacts by 50% by 2040 compared to 2015 levels.

Frontiers | A large-scale study in China finds that worsening air pollution significantly reduces residents’ participation in fitness activities, with impacts varying across gender, age, education, and household status.
