MAINE PUBLIC • April 21, 2021
Most of Maine has been breathing easier, according to the latest State of the Air report from the American Lung Association. The report, made public Thursday, looks back at the three-year period 2017-2019 and documents the levels of two key types of pollution: small particles and ozone. The group's director of environmental health, advocacy and public policy, Kevin Stewart, says much of the state saw low levels of small particle pollution, the stuff left behind by burning almost any kind of fuel.
