Signal Akron | At a community meeting about Akron’s new $85 million North High School, residents requested features like green space, natural light, better air quality, and athletic facilities, while architects outlined a timeline aiming to complete construction by March 2029 and pledged to prioritize comfort, sustainability, and community input.

Dawn | The fear of smog has already started lingering upon us. We are once again bracing ourselves to choke in our own neglect. Are we doomed to suffer every year, through climate change, mismanagement, broken promises, or is it just bad luck?

Panorama.am | Yerevan’s air quality index reached 85.9 for PM2.5 on Saturday, classified as “moderate”, with Mayor Tigran Avinyan noting it’s acceptable for most residents but could affect those with health conditions.

Pittsburgh’s Public Source | Carnegie Mellon’s CREATE Lab expanded its Plume Pittsburgh pollution-tracking platform into Climate TRACE, a global tool unveiled by Al Gore that visualizes emissions from nearly 10,000 industrial sites worldwide, helping expose “super-emitters” and empower communities through transparent, justice-focused air quality data.

ScienceDirect.com | Using an extended quantile g-computation model with spatial Bayesian analysis, researchers found that higher mixtures of PM2.5, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, and CO were linked to reduced birth weight in 21 Georgia counties, highlighting localized pollution impacts on infant health.

ScienceDirect.com | Imported solar panels displaced 305 TWh of fossil power and prevented 178 million tons of CO₂ and nearly 600 premature deaths in the U.S. from 2014–2022, showing that global solar supply chains yield major health and climate benefits that offset about half their cost.

Time Magazine | Heat pump startup Jetson is cutting installation costs by using remote project assessments and launching its own monitored unit, Jetson Air, which tracks air quality and filter status—while robotics firm Figure AI prepares to deploy its humanoid Figure 03, designed to handle household tasks and improve through large-scale data training.

ScienceDirect.com | Using machine learning, researchers mapped PM2.5 hotspots in New York City from 2010–2019 and showed that congestion pricing and traffic restrictions most effectively and equitably reduce urban air pollution.

The Bay State Banner | Boston awarded $1.12 million through its 2025 Community Clean Air Grants to six community projects in environmental-justice neighborhoods, supporting efforts in schools and along transit corridors to monitor and reduce pollution, educate residents, and build partnerships that advance local air-quality improvements and health equity.

NC DEQ – NC.gov | North Carolina’s Division of Air Quality is taking public comments through Nov. 19 and holding hearings Nov. 13 (Mooresville) and Nov. 18 (Lexington) on draft permits to add new gas turbines and generators at Transco compressor Stations 150 and 155 with modeling indicating no exceedance of toxic ambient levels.
