Scientists searching for air pollution clues stumbled onto something unexpected: toxic MCCPs drifting through the air for the first time in the Western Hemisphere. The likely source—fertilizer made from sewage sludge—points to a hidden route for contamination. #AirPollution

Chad is stepping up action on #AirPollution and methane 💨 The country is one of the most dust-exposed in the world, with major health impacts across the region – including pollution-linked infant deaths each year. A new national plan and methane roadmap aim to change that: buff.ly/6FPvAMP

Understanding #AirPollution goes beyond ground monitoring. Satellite data helps track trends, identify sources, and provide a clearer picture of #AirQuality across regions. Learn how Digital Earth Africa is making this possible. 👉 bit.ly/4lBmu8P

This is so doable. "The analysis found interventions such as cycle lanes, uptake of electric cars and restrictions on polluting vehicles had helped to drive the improvements." #airpollution #fossilfuels

We continue our employee highlight series with our Technical Director, Dr. Michael Johnson! Michael is a font of air pollution knowledge, and also a delightful person.

Happy Plant a Flower Day! 🌼Planting flowers is a small act that supports healthier environments, from helping local ecosystems thrive to bringing more green into our daily spaces. Today we’re celebrating the plants that make our world more vibrant. #PlantAFlowerDay
