@atscommunity Thank you to @EPA and @atscommunity for the opportunity to speak at this hearing. @MDqualitysafety @KPDOR

Advocacy 3 of 3: The approval of this waiver and implementation of the rule will provide an est. $26.5B in health benefits between 2024 to 2050, save 2,500+ lives, and avoid 870+ hospitalizations for cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses and 1,100+ emergency room visits.

Advocacy 1 of 3: Thank you to Dr. Laura Myers @kpthrive research scientist I, Division of Research, and pulmonary intensivist, Diablo Service Area, and our ATS Environmental Health Policy Committee members who spoke last week urging @EPA to approve CA Advanced Clean Fleet waiver.

@lucilleborlaza super cool presentation at #hei conference about oxidative potential of #particulatematter air pollution ?could health effects be related to oxidative potential vs particulate matter level…

The smoke unfortunately impacts the health of communities of color in the Glades. We need better PM2.5 monitors in the area and @EPA @CDCgov awareness of this #environmental #injustice. The sugar industry should adopt greener harvesting practices in order to improve #publichealth

Great @NASA_HAQAST meeting in SLC with experts from across the country. In particular, I learned about the health effects of #sugar burning in Florida, which occurs >6mo of the year instead of a higher cost, green alternative to harvesting.

Vincent Liu @KPDOR on @STATnews #AI panel: "There's hope that mathematical approaches are going to solve all of these issues but... it's much more complex...we can use these advanced techniques to optimize but they may need to be guided." bit.ly/3PLfOqv @permanentedocs

@CDCEnvironment Most importantly, to protect the lungs, wear masks and use air cleaners while pm2.5 levels remain high from smoke

If you’re returning home after a #wildfire, remember that ash and dust can be harmful to your health. Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, goggles, and work gloves. Keep children away from debris. Learn more: bit.ly/3qrLrvD #Maui
