When #JohnsHopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. What does it mean for the people there? Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

10 years ago, my group went to Kathmandu in to participate in the NAMaSTE project (NSF sponsored) to measure sources and ambient air quality. An earthquake, stranded instruments, and recovery delayed our work, but we stuck with it and the whole team produced impactful work.

Why the health risks from air pollution could be worse than we thought
A new study found elevated and previously overlooked health risks for communities living near industrial polluters.

Wait, do I have to start using Bluesky now?
New paper: super excited about working with risk scientists to systematically address how all the stuff we breathe (at least what we can measure) adds up to different health risks.

Really happy to share our new paper on advancing approaches to cumulative risk assessment for non-cancer health outcomes (with @petedecarlo.bsky.social and many, many others)! We apply the new method via the HAP-MAP study in Southern Delaware County, PA: doi.org/10.1289/EHP1...

A Ride in a Chemical-Sniffing Van Shows How Heat Amps Up Pollution
In heat waves, chemicals like formaldehyde and ozone can form more readily in the air, according to researchers driving mobile labs in New York City this week.
