           Ghana's Parliament is currently considering a groundbreaking bill that would enshrine clean air as a fundamental human right. This initiative, led by the Hon @fx_sosu, underscores the need for governments to tackle the air pollution and climate crisis together. #AirPollution

They are not only treasure troves of biodiversity but also play a vital role in protecting shorelines, absorbing carbon, and ensuring food

           Delhi’s air is toxic, but there is no public health advisory warming citizens on this public health emergency and telling us how to keep our children safe. The @MoHFW_INDIA’s duty is to protect public health, not to stay silent while AQI hovers above 400. Without official

             Glad to note that the US Embassy AQ station in Delhi is still reporting data! Open data on air pollution can spur climate action for a more sustainable world. The AQI is algorithm based & each country has its way of reporting it. What’s needed is NRT data for a complete picture. 
           Shantipath which cuts across Chanakyapuri in Delhi also has the US Embassy. I coincidentally checked air quality on US Embassy website at 7pm and it showed AQI at 430. AQI data cannot be trusted anymore! Citizens of Delhi 100% deserve this, you got exactly what you voted for.

             Air pollution remains Delhi’s biggest health threat. In 2023, nearly 15% of all deaths in the capital were linked to toxic air, according to @IHME_UW data. That’s 1 in every 7 deaths tied to pollution. @Sonal_MK So is it still just an environmental issue? @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda

             Delhi’s air quality saw an unexpected improvement; AQI dropped from a 3 year Oct high of 373 (Severe) on Thursday to 218 (Poor) on Friday, a 155 point dip in 24 hours. Officials credit enforcement & anti-smog measures; experts say the sharp change without rain remains “complex

            @Warriormomsin @Haryana_spcb @CPCB_OFFICIAL It seems to happen here in #BritishColumbia sometimes too. Look at this graph for example - notice how just as the spikes begin to happen, a large gap suddenly appears. Now, correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, BUT... it's still a bit odd, and definitely concerning.
