Black carbon’s effect on Arctic ice meltTL;DR —Black carbon, a short-lived but powerful climate pollutant, darkens Arctic snow and ice, accelerating melt and worsening global warming. Major sources include diesel engines, biomass burning, and heavy fuel oil from shipping. Cutting these emissions—via cleaner technology, stricter air pollution regulations, and real-time ambient monitoring—can quickly reduce near-term climate risks and safeguard the Arctic.

Wildfires are increasing due to climate change — what does this mean for air quality and human health in the long run?As climate change exacerbates wildfires, it is crucial to understand both the short- and long-term impacts wildfires have on human and environmental health.
Article
Why cities need higher resolution air quality data to plan for climate changeBecause cities play a major role in air quality and climate health, it is essential that they establish high-resolution air quality monitoring networks.
Article
Why we need resilient infrastructure — and air quality monitoring networks — in the face of climate change and accelerating environmental disastersAs climate change progresses and environmental disasters that contribute to air pollution intensify, it is more important than ever to have resilient air quality monitoring.
Article
Why both the climate change and air pollution crises are environmental justice issuesClimate change and air pollution are both global environmental crises with enormous health, economic, and environmental impacts — but also environmental justice issues.
