@lucilleborlaza super cool presentation at #hei conference about oxidative potential of #particulatematter air pollution ?could health effects be related to oxidative potential vs particulate matter level…

[Laura Myers MD MPH @MDqualitysafety]

The smoke unfortunately impacts the health of communities of color in the Glades. We need better PM2.5 monitors in the area and @EPA @CDCgov awareness of this #environmental #injustice. The sugar industry should adopt greener harvesting practices in order to improve #publichealth

[Laura Myers MD MPH @MDqualitysafety]

Great @NASA_HAQAST meeting in SLC with experts from across the country. In particular, I learned about the health effects of #sugar burning in Florida, which occurs >6mo of the year instead of a higher cost, green alternative to harvesting.

Vincent Liu @KPDOR on @STATnews #AI panel: "There's hope that mathematical approaches are going to solve all of these issues but... it's much more complex...we can use these advanced techniques to optimize but they may need to be guided."

@CDCEnvironment Most importantly, to protect the lungs, wear masks and use air cleaners while pm2.5 levels remain high from smoke
