Guanyu Huang explains the complex relationship between climate change and air pollution, and how tracking pollutants can influence environmental justice areas. Host Heather Lynch and Huang, assistant professor in the Program in Public Health and the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University, delve into the hidden dangers of pollutants like nitrous oxides and ozone, the effects of New York City’s congestion pricing plan on pollution, and the role of air quality monitoring—using both fixed stations and mobile labs. His team's goal is public engagement and education through an initiative that they take on the road.Learn more with:“Unexpected Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on the Air Quality in the Metro Atlanta, USA Using Ground-based and Satellite Observations” by G.
