Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities.
Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer.

Manhattan smog: fog + pollutants. From 1971-77, the Documerica project captured 20,000 images of America’s environmental impact. Explore these through the National Archives. The photo below is from Documerica—join the movement! Let’s not forget our past, or we’re bound to repeat it.

Data centers’ diesel backup generators are emitting pollutants that can cause health problems for residents.
That’s on top of contributing to higher electricity prices and sucking up communities’ water.
Is it any wonder communities across the country are organizing to stop them?

We've delivered the boldest climate action in Illinois' history — reducing carbon emissions, removing air pollutants, all while making smart investments in sustainability and renewable energy.
We won't wait around for this White House when it comes to real climate leadership.

Trump’s EPA wants to roll back standards regulating pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like car exhaust and methane.
Meanwhile, 17 staffers in his White House own up to $2.2 million of stock in Big Oil companies.
They’re getting rich off polluting the planet.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body.

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.
