When #JohnsHopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. What does it mean for the people there? Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

Wait, do I have to start using Bluesky now? New paper: super excited about working with risk scientists to systematically address how all the stuff we breathe (at least what we can measure) adds up to different health risks.
