Another recent study I hadn't seen when writing this: "A decrease of 1 microgram of particulate matter per cubic meter of air...is sufficient to almost immediately reduce the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases by 2% and the number of deaths by 3-4%." news.gsu.edu/2020/10/01/curr…
We know Black people and Latinos are suffering the most from COVID-19 — and there's growing evidence air pollution is at least partly to blame.
In this week's edition of Boiling Point, I look at maps showing the COVID/pollution nexus in Los Angeles:

Would really be great if @HealthAllegheny or @EPA provided SOME update about what’s going on with this @U_S_Steel facility. 👇🏻

The last three days of SmellPGH images shows that Pittsburgh still has a major air pollution problem. During a pandemic flare-up. @BreatheProject @GASPPgh #airquality

It was years before the residents of Avalon, Pennsylvania realized that their growing worries were part of a bigger story: the failure of the research community to put any real effort into understanding the environmental plight of certain communities.

AQI was in the red overnight, reaching 170. DEP yesterday issued a Code Orange #AirQuality Action Day for PM2.5 for today for the Liberty-Clairton area. Inversion isn’t forecast to break until this afternoon, but there’s *some* good news: AQI expected to improve Friday.

You may have heard the air quality in Pittsburgh over the holidays was really bad--again.
You may have heard that weather was the reason-- inversions, when warm air traps the pollution below.
Now it looks like the county will finally take action: mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ui=…
