At the end of 2022, 132 projects around the country were notified that they will receive funding from the US EPA to conduct ambient air monitoring of pollutants with environmental and health outcome disparities stemming from pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recipients will share information about their upcoming projects, what data they will focus on collecting, and how the results will be used to reduce pollution moving forward. Press will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the panel discussion.
WHO: The webinar will be moderated by Moms Clean Air Force’s Ohio organizer Tracy Sabetta and features:
- Brandi Whetstone, Sustainability Officer and LEED Green Associate, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC)
- Christina Yoka, Chief of Air Pollution Outreach, Cleveland Dept. of Public Health
- Note: Abby Singletary may replace Christina Yoka
