That tracks. Some of the pro bono legal work I do is petitioning the EPA to repair/maintain faulty federal air quality monitors. Especially in big cities (and especially in low-income areas), the monitors are a mess. Without accurate data, citizens can’t initiate Clean Air Act suits against polluters because there’s no/little indication that atmospheric pollution is too high in the first place.

Insane that the fed govt doesn’t properly fund things like this. Leaving us literally in the dust.
