ClickOnDetroit | An unusual February air quality advisory across Southeast Michigan warns that snowmelt particles trapped by light winds and a strong temperature inversion are causing elevated particulate pollution levels until conditions improve.

The Times of Israel | A massive dust storm sweeping in from North Africa blanketed Israel, sending Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to the top of global pollution rankings with hazardous fine particle levels and prompting health warnings to limit outdoor activity.

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.
