Whats in My Air?
b'Over a 20-year period, methane is 80 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Yet those responsible for releasing methane into the atmosphere often don\\u2019t even know how much they themselves are emitting. And methane is only one of many harmful air pollutants that result from our dependence on burning fossil fuels.\\xa0\\n\\nNow, research coalitions, citizen scientists and activists are using a slate of new tools to detect and report emissions. They\\u2019re also using many of the same tools to shine a light on exactly how and where other deadly fossil fuel pollutants, like nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, are affecting community health. Such data could become a critical tool for regulation, leading to greater emissions reductions.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nGuests:\\nDavida Herzl, Co-founder and CEO, Aclima\\nKendra Pinto, Four Corners Indigenous Community Field Advocate, Earthworks\\xa0\\nGavin McCormick, Co-founder, Climate TRACE\\n\\nFor show notes and related links, visit ClimateOne.org\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
