Nature | Researchers have developed FAIRUrbTemp, a rigorously quality-controlled, pan-European dataset of high-resolution street-level air temperature measurements designed to support urban climate research, heat-health risk assessment, and climate-adaptive city planning.

Georgetown University | A Georgetown student reflects on nearly transferring after early struggles with rejection and self-doubt, and shares how self-reflection and finding community through Ballet Folklórico helped her rediscover confidence and fall in love with the university.

CNET | Three smart home experts monitoring indoor air across different U.S. cities found that humidity can inflate PM2.5 readings, gas stoves significantly raise VOC and CO2 levels, and everyday household activities often degrade indoor air quality more than expected.

University of Colorado Boulder | A new study finds that coordinated global climate action could save up to 1.32 million lives annually by 2040 by reducing cross-border PM2.5 pollution, with developing nations most dependent on emissions cuts by wealthier countries to improve air quality and health equity.

VCU News – Virginia Commonwealth University | A Virginia Commonwealth University study finds that diesel backup generators at Northern Virginia data centers are a growing source of air pollution and could dramatically worsen regional and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities if facilities reach their permitted limits.

Inside Climate News | Environmental groups have sued after the Trump administration ended a federal fenceline monitoring program that documented excessive carcinogenic emissions, including benzene, at coke oven facilities, arguing the rollback leaves frontline communities exposed to hazardous air pollution.

EurekAlert! | A new study using a custom-built drone with low-cost sensors found unexpectedly high PM2.5 concentrations up to 100 metres above Delhi, revealing that current models may underestimate urban haze levels and offering a scalable tool to improve air pollution forecasting and mitigation.

TechCrunch | The Trump administration’s EPA is reportedly preparing to repeal the 2009 “endangerment finding” that underpins federal greenhouse gas regulations, a move likely to trigger lawsuits, reshape U.S. climate policy, and create regulatory uncertainty for industries such as automakers.

Newsweek | Air quality alerts were issued for parts of Alaska, Pennsylvania, and Alabama on February 10 after PM2.5 levels reached “unhealthy” categories, prompting officials to advise residents to limit outdoor activity and reduce exposure to hazardous fine particle pollution.

U.S. News & World Report | A new study finds that living in neighborhoods with high levels of particle air pollution raises health risk by 48%, with combined exposure to damp housing and polluted air further compounding the danger.
