Update: real time aerosol chemical composition data is flowing! @lamontearth.bsky.social @columbiaclimate.bsky.social

This is a massive step backwards. The data taken at US diplomatic missions has been one of the few sources of decent air quality data in many countries.

Adding to what Dan and others have said: Measuring air quality at diplomatic posts in places like Beijing, Delhi, and Lahore, using EPA standard technology, and openly sharing it with the public, has been a force pushing along progress toward better air quality in all those locations.

Big (bad) news: the US Embassy air monitoring program webpage has been taken down: www.airnow.gov/internationa... This erases ~17 years of a critical data source at ~80 US diplomatic posts around the world. Critically for the health of thousands of foreign services officers, critical for research..

Our PIs finally took a break from working towards clean air to update our website! aqtoolbox.org 🌇🌍😎

Hi there Bluesky, we're a cross-disciplinary collaborative initiative at Columbia University led by @dwesty.bsky.social and @vfmcneill.bsky.social helping cities in the Global South on the path towards cleaner air 🌍🌇
