🔥 Wildfires in Canada—sending smoke into the Northeast U.S.—were fueled by extreme heat, 20°F+ above average for early August.
🌡️ Meanwhile, 53M people in the U.S. Southwest & Mexico are facing extreme heat that’s nearly impossible without climate change.

🔬 Using new deep learning + chem transport models, we reconstructed daily 1km NO₂ levels for 42 years.
📉 All groups saw declines, but widening relative gaps among racial groups persisted.
💡 Why care? Short-term NO₂ spikes = asthma/heart risks.
⚠️ Progress isn’t equal. Targeted interventions needed!

Not in this study, but working on it! Would love to chat if you are interested in potentially collaboration!
