State Department halts global monitoring of air pollution
The State Department on Tuesday halted efforts to monitor air quality levels around the world, ending a program that had provided data about a major global health risk.
The program had used air quality sensors at more than 80 U.S. embassies and consulates — mostly in countries where such data was otherwise limited or unreliable. The move follows other actions by the Trump administration to curtail environmental monitoring and climate-related science.
