Virginia Tech News | Experts explain how wildfires driven by heat and drought worsen air quality across the U.S. and increase the risk of flooding in burn-scarred regions.

ScienceDirect.com | Using high-resolution modeling from 1980 to 2022, this study reveals that despite overall NO₂ declines in California, racial and ethnic disparities in short-term exposure have widened, with Hispanic and other non-White groups facing significantly higher pollution burdens than White populations.

ScienceDirect.com | This study finds that improved air quality boosts Chinese migrant workers’ well-being up to a point, but beyond that, the benefits taper off as industrial upgrades reduce income opportunities, highlighting a trade-off between health gains and economic impacts.

CBC | UBC’s Air Pollution Exposure Lab studies how controlled pollutant exposure affects human health, providing critical data to inform public health policies and interventions as wildfire smoke and urban air pollution increasingly threaten Canadians.

BBC Science Focus Magazine | A new study finds that recent air pollution reductions in East Asia have unintentionally accelerated global warming by removing particles that previously masked some greenhouse gas effects, underscoring the need to cut CO₂ and methane alongside cleaning the air.

Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) | China has significantly reduced eastern air pollution since 2013, but rising industrial activity in western and southern provinces is driving local pollution increases, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated clean energy integration and green industrial transitions nationwide.

Psychiatry Advisor | A Danish study links long-term exposure to ultrafine particles and other air pollutants with an increased risk of developing meningiomas, highlighting the need for further research on air pollution’s impact on brain health.

The Daily Climate | Air quality in U.S. national parks has improved since the 1990s due to reduced coal and vehicle pollution, but increasing wildfire smoke and proposed federal budget cuts now threaten to undermine these environmental gains.

Heart of the Rockies Radio | Chaffee County has launched a Purple Air Quality Monitoring program with four local sensors to help residents track real-time smoke impacts from Colorado wildfires, as the state issues an Air Quality Alert for the area.

Explained PH | The University of the Philippines has developed low-cost engineering tools and sensors to improve air quality monitoring across the country, aiming to make air pollution data accessible for public decision-making and local government action.
