1/4 A very important🌎 Earth Day 🌏 thread 🧵 highlighting the @LungAssociation’s #StateOfTheAir report

Our #StateOfTheAir report found an increase of ~2 million more people living in areas with failing grades for unhealthy levels of pollution compared to last year’s report. Most of the increase is due to wildfire activity in the West. Lung.org/SOTA

The @LungAssociation’s #StateOfTheAir report released this week found that more than 4 in 10 Americans live in counties with unhealthy levels of pollution. Time for @EPA to strengthen its federal safeguards to #cutmethane. lung.org/research/sota
