"Pollution may have a surprising diversity of effects, from changing the scents that draw insects to flowers to warping the creatures' ability to smell, learn and remember."

📍#İstanbul:
İstanbul'da bugün soğuk hava ve yağışların olumlu etkisi hissediliyor - toz seviyeleri önemli ölçüde azalmış durumda. #Ataşehir ve #Kadıköy'de hava kalitesi değerleri oldukça iyi. Ancak trafiğin yoğun olduğu Şemsettin Günaltay Caddesi'nde toz konsantrasyonu diğer bölgelere kıyasla yüksek seyretmeye devam ediyor. Bu güzergahı kullanacak İstanbullular, özellikle astım ve KOAH hastaları, dikkatli olmalı.

We met several folks from @OurKidsClimate at the WHO 2nd Global Conference on Air Pollution & Health. They are a powerful grassroots movement taking action on air pollution, fossil fuels & children's health. This #WorldHealthDay let's celebrate those who speak truth to power.
Today is World Health Day. 🩺 Pregnant women and children — especially the youngest — face the greatest risks from air pollution, extreme heat, & climate disasters. Protecting them means ending our dependence on fossil fuels. #HopefulFutures #FossilFree4Health #ProtectWhatWeLove

We are heartbroken that the U.S. embassies hosting air quality monitors have been ordered by the U.S. State Department to stop sharing the data they collect. See our blog on this myopic move. link.openaq.org/embassy-data…
