Title
Air Pollution in Pennsylvania: Community Panel
Files
Description
Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA) will host a virtual panel discussion on air pollution in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, February 16 at 7:00 p.m. EST. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, air pollution levels in some parts of Pennsylvania are among the nation’s highest. The United Health Association ranks Pennsylvania’s air quality as 48th out of US states. In addition to other health implications, new research links increased levels of air pollution to higher COVID-19 death rates. To orient these concerns, this panel will include a review of key air pollution sources across Pennsylvania. Community members will reflect on localized air pollution considerations and potential opportunities for engagement.
This program is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by the department of environmental studies and the Center for Civic Learning & Action.
