@daphsci Gross. Minneapolis/Hennepin really needs to address this. We’re going to keep getting air inversions, so what’s the plan for limiting emissions when they happen?

The most *minimal* thing they could do would be to request that employers let people work from home during this period to reduce transit emissions.

(Oh, and, you know, scrap the plan to radically worsen things in one of the state’s most polluted neighborhoods with the #HiawathaCampusExpansion…)

Instead, they’ve done…nothing?

The #AirPollution in Minneapolis’s #EastPhillips is so bad today that even the EPA—which basically everyone agrees has far too lax particulate pollution standards, compared w modern evidence abt health effects—says is so bad that “sensitive groups” will harm their health by going outside

“Sensitive groups”: infants, the elderly, people with cardiovascular disease or diabetes or asthma…

12% of E Phillips has asthma

But #Minneapolis wants to INCREASE pollution there w #HiawathaCampusExpansion
