Looking into that today. Data from Louisville's closest air monitoring site to the airport (airqualitymap.louisvilleky.gov/station/21-1...) says the quality's generally fine. City officials said they used air quality monitoring to decide when to shrink the size of the shelter-in-place.

And here's an audio story I put together last night about the UPS crash, which aired nationally on Morning Edition today. Hat tip to @justinhicks.lpm.org for going out yesterday and gathering good interviews from people out near the crash site.
