If you hadn't heard... Chicago is getting a new #AirQuality network! We joined Chicago Department of #PublicHealth & UIC @uicpublichealth.bsky.social to celebrate the launch of the #Chicago Air Sensor Network—the largest city-run #AirPollution sensor network in the US w/ nearly 280 Clarity sensors.
#CoalDust from mining and transport is a source of PM10 air pollution, linked to #BlackLung, silicosis, and COPD. #AirQuality monitoring helps track exposure and control efforts. tinyurl.com/Coal-Dust
A deep dive into coal dust
Explore the health impacts of coal dust and PM10 air pollution, how coal mining and transport contribute to emissions, and how to monitor and reduce exposure.
