Sand Drift from South Iceland Causes Poor Air Quality in Reykjavik

Sand Drift from South Iceland Causes Poor Air Quality in Reykjavik

A sand drift originating from South Iceland is causing poor air quality in the Reykjavik Capital Region. According to Svava S. Steinarsdóttir from the Reykjavik Public Health Authority, the combination of street dust and sand drift is responsible for the current pollution levels. Even areas like Garðabær, which are away from heavily trafficked routes, are experiencing similar poor air quality readings. This pattern is typical for this time of year when the snow has melted and the weather is dry, as noted by Þorsteinn Jóhannsson, an air quality specialist at the Icelandic Environment and Energy Agency.

NASA Launches New HAMAQ Science Team to Enhance Air Quality Research

NASA Launches New HAMAQ Science Team to Enhance Air Quality Research

NASA has announced the formation of the Hemispheric Airborne Measurements of Air Quality (HAMAQ) Science Team as part of its EVS-4 program. This initiative involves the use of NASA's B777 and P-3B aircraft, in coordination with satellites like TEMPO, to gather comprehensive air quality data. The HAMAQ Science Team will focus on four main objectives: improving connections between satellite and surface networks, evaluating emissions and their sources, developing satellite proxies for air quality, and investigating factors affecting air quality in urban areas. The program is seeking membership for both Instrument and Modeling teams, with Notices of Intent due by May 20, 2026, and proposals by July 21, 2026.

Michigan Enhances Air Quality Alerts Ahead of Wildfire Season

Michigan Enhances Air Quality Alerts Ahead of Wildfire Season

Michigan is updating its air quality risk communication system in response to past wildfire smoke impacts from Canadian wildfires. The state will now issue air quality alerts when fine particulate matter or ozone levels reach the 'unhealthy for sensitive groups' range on the Air Quality Index. This change aims to provide residents with timely information to protect their health. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, Energy (EGLE) is improving forecasting models but remains cautious about predicting smoke conditions beyond 48 hours.
