The Guardian · ‘The ice is not freezing as it should’: supply roads to Canada’s Indigenous communities under threat from climate crisisBy Hilary Beaumont

In southeastern Pennsylvania, their mobile lab detected 32 hazardous air pollutants near petrochemical sites, translating real-time concentrations into long-term health risk profiles across multiple organ systems
