AP News | The Trump administration’s EPA has proposed approving ozone control plans for eight states and moving to roll back the Biden-era “Good Neighbor” rule limiting cross-state smokestack emissions, drawing criticism from environmental groups who warn it could weaken federal oversight of interstate air pollution.

The Detroit News | Health advocates warn that the EPA’s proposed rollback of federal particulate matter standards would disproportionately harm Michigan residents near industrial sources by weakening protections for people with heart and lung conditions.

EPA | The EPA proposed approving ozone compliance plans for eight states, rolling back parts of the Biden-era Good Neighbor Plan and easing interstate ozone controls in a move the agency says restores state authority while critics warn could weaken air pollution protections.

Public Citizen | Industry reports show that a severe Texas winter storm triggered more than half a million pounds of additional air pollution from gas facilities, highlighting how extreme weather increasingly strains fossil fuel infrastructure and worsens air quality.

The Guardian | The article argues that while breathwork and personal wellness practices are popular, air pollution poses a far greater, immediate threat to health that can only be addressed through strong public policy and emissions controls.

Stars and Stripes | PM2.5-driven winter pollution pushed air quality in parts of the Kaiserslautern Military Community into the unhealthy range, prompting health advisories for residents to limit outdoor activity.

KPBS | San Diego County’s Air Improvement Relief Effort Program has distributed over 10,000 air purifiers to South Bay residents to reduce indoor exposure to hydrogen sulfide from sewage-related pollution, responding to extreme gas levels linked to documented public health risks.

Daily Mail | A Swedish study found that long-term exposure to air pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide is associated with a significantly higher risk of developing and accelerating the progression of ALS, suggesting environmental pollution may contribute to neurodegenerative disease.

Nature | The study finds that while ambitious climate mitigation delivers major air-pollution health benefits, a growing share of those benefits, depends on pollution reductions beyond national borders, highlighting equity challenges in transboundary air quality policy.

Hackaday | The piece highlights a DIY environmental monitoring project that shows sensors and computing are readily accessible, with the main innovation being a simple, low-cost housing made from recycled plastic containers to create a functional, portable monitoring device.
