Were the paintings of Claude Monet and other impressionists just “telling it like it was” during the Industrial Revolution?

The impressionist style has dimmer objects, whiter hues, and a low-contrast “out of focus” feel. So does polluted air, in which particulate matter scatters and absorbs light. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences studied the correlation between industrialization and the work of impressionist painters Monet and Joseph Turner. A fascinating example of art meeting science!

Individual paintings by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch have been shown to depict specific atmospheric phenomena, raising the q...

Recently 2B Technologies began collaborating with local air agencies to further customize the AQSync. We are exploring the possibility of adding BTEX and Methane to this already highly customizable air monitoring solution. These additions will allow the AQSync to be deployed for a variety of fenceline monitoring applications.

The EPA is continuously conducting community air monitoring near the East Palestine train derailment site. Thankfully the air quality seems to be normal, and their data indicates no issues with the air quality. They are also offering in-home air screenings to this day and continue to offer this service to anyone within the evacuation zone. Read more about what the Ohio EPA is doing to help the cleanup efforts of the derailment.

Air pollution appears to be affecting our mental health.

In a recent article in Neurotoxicology, more than 100 research articles from both animal and human studies that focused on the effects of outdoor air pollution on mental health were reviewed. 73% of the studies reported higher mental health symptoms and behaviors in subjects (humans and lab animals) that were exposed to higher than average levels of air pollution.

Air pollution doesn't just harm your lungs and skin — new research shows it also harms the brain
