A New Tool for Tracking Pittsburgh's Bad Air
The 'Breathe Project' lets residents watch neighborhood pollution levels change by the minute.
A group dedicated to fixing Pittsburgh's air pollution problem has rolled out a new interactive tool that allows residents to watch the particulate matter in the air rise and fall minute to minute.
The Breathe Project, a local coalition funded by the Heinz Endowments, has launched four cameras overlooking four parts of the city, where viewers can zoom in on pollution sources and track neighborhood air-quality data.
