ICYMI: EPA this week approved new pesticides that could be considered "forever chemicals" under the OECD definition

Agency says they aren't PFAS

Another step that may upset the MAHA crowd

“Worker deaths, the deaths of many community residents every year from pollution-related cancer, heart disease and lung disease is rooted in US Steel’s coal-based tech and a ‘drive it til the wheels fall off’ approach,”says Matthew Mehalik, Breathe Project https://t.co/tEAC92JxBT

WIN FOR AIR QUALITY! Court rules against the Trump EPA and justifies tighter controls on fine particulate matter, a deadly air pollutant that endangers human health. Read the full story here: https://t.co/qnKYloQNiQ @washingtonpost

One proposed data center site is in the Springdale area - a community that already bears one of the highest pollution burdens in PA.
We're calling on leadership to put safeguards in place before this moves forward. Follow the link to read our letter.

New UCLA research links the 2015 Aliso Canyon blowout to higher rates of low birth weight in babies nearby.

Our Executive Director, Dr. Seth Shonkoff, noted that the findings are consistent with what’s increasingly clear about natural gas: “...that there are hazardous air pollutants commingled in natural gas.”

Where you live ≠ where you're exposed.

New tool published: an open-source, agent-based model that estimates environmental #exposure by simulating daily #mobility.

📍Noise & air #pollution
📍Probabilistic activity patterns
📍626k+ addresses modeled

“Pretty much every time scientists detect methane emissions from an oil and gas facility, hazardous air pollutants are silently emitted as well. For too long, these emissions have gone undetected—our tool brings visibility to these emissions and associated public health risks.” - PSE scientist Sebastian Rowland

I spoke to prospective doctoral students and postdocs whose offers disappeared amid funding uncertainty.

It adds up to a lost generation of US scientists, one expert told me. “It’s what’s left on the cutting-room floor that we may not know we’ve lost.”
