International Mining | BreatheSafe is advancing mining operator safety by delivering pressurized, clean-air cabin systems with active monitoring technology that protects workers from dust exposure while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Phys.org | A recent study warns that atmospheric dust is a major and growing health risk in rapidly urbanizing areas, with fine particles capable of penetrating deep into the lungs and contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular disease.

Inside Climate News| Critics say the EPA’s claim that repealing stricter power plant pollution limits will save $670 million reflects a new accounting approach that counts industry costs but excludes public health benefits, potentially skewing the perceived impact of the rollback.

KGNS | A pilot air monitoring study in Laredo detected varying levels of ethylene oxide prompting public health officials to begin further investigation into potential long-term exposure risks without identifying a specific source.

CT.gov | Connecticut officials criticized the EPA’s rollback of mercury and toxic emission limits for coal plants, warning it will increase public exposure to hazardous pollutants and harm vulnerable populations despite existing state-level protections.

Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District | The U.S. Forest Service will conduct a weeklong prescribed burn beginning February 27 in the Camino Cielo Ridge area near Santa Barbara to reduce wildfire risk, with coordinated planning to minimize smoke impacts on surrounding communities.

The Conversation | A 15-year satellite analysis of 81 megacities finds that atmospheric dust exposes nearly 90% of their 800 million residents to levels exceeding health guidelines, posing significant and persistent public health risks as urban populations continue to grow.

WSVN | A rapidly expanding 25,000-acre wildfire in the Florida Everglades—visible from space and fueled by drought and wind—has raised air quality concerns across South Florida, prompting health warnings and reduced-visibility advisories.

California Air Resources Board – CA.gov | California and Quebec announced results from their 46th joint carbon allowance auction, with all 54.98 million current vintage permits sold at a $27.94 settlement price and most advance vintage allowances also purchased at the same price.

Nature | A study using high-resolution data from four major Chinese cities found that tree-based machine learning models can accurately and interpretably forecast six major air pollutants, supporting improved urban air quality warning systems and regulatory planning.
