Mr. Burritt, USX CEO, was taken aback at a press conference when a reporter relayed a conversation with a plant worker who described U.S. Steel as reactive and uninterested in preventative maintenance, saying the company takes safety very seriously. https://t.co/sQC8dtMgpA

Action Alert! The EPA has chosen to put corporate profits over our well-being. Another 120 tons of cancer-causing agents and other toxins will continue to pollute our air, prolonging exposure for communities already at risk from industrial pollution. https://t.co/eU1exlWYdR

We just received an anonymous #EyesOnPollution report from a Shell employee about an alleged explosion at the plant. It appears visible on the BreatheCam around 2:20 PM. The source said they’re currently hosing down the furnaces.

We are grateful to @alleghenyhealth for issuing a statement on the breakdown at the Clairton Coke Works yesterday and reporting the "significant spike of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide." This plant is dangerous to community health! https://t.co/HJb0vU3wno

Emissions from gas powered vehicles and equipment as well as industry create ozone when heat and UV rays hit them. As we continue to see hotter sunnier days every summer, more days with higher ozone are expected. #AQAW2025

[Breathe Project @BreatheProject]

Shell Polymers (Monaca, Pa.) has issued a press release that it's embracing a "circular economy" which couldn't be farther from the truth. As @guardian points out, it's yet another greenwash! https://t.co/02gOzKEEpQ

Happy Air Quality Awareness Week! Take the time to learn more about our air quality!
