NIH: June 18, 2019 - Asthma cases dropped when air pollution declined
Decreases in outdoor air pollutants over a 21-year period in Southern California were associated with 20% fewer asthma diagnoses in children.
The results support the idea that cleaner air can reduce the number of new asthma cases.
Out of more than 4,000 children included in the study, about 500 developed asthma. Reductions in two of the pollutants measured—nitrogen dioxide and a type of fine particle called PM2.5—were associated with reductions in new asthma diagnoses over the course of the study.

WA State Governor: Inslee Statement on Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
June 18, 2019 - Gov. Jay Inslee released a statement today following the Canadian government’s announced approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.
"The Canadian government’s decision today to approve the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion is alarming and deeply disappointing. The costs to our environment and communities are simply too high. This pipeline, if built, will impose significant negative impacts on our coastal communities, increase the risk of oil spills in our shared waters and double down on carbon-intensive fossil fuels at a time when world leaders need to double down on clean energy. It would unwind our urgent efforts to reduce toxics in our environment, protect our orcas and improve oil-transport safety. If the pipeline is expanded, we may see a call for additional investments to bring more fossil fuels into Washington state.
"But this expansion is not inevitable. I stand with Premier Horgan in wanting to defend the coast. Canada has led so many important climate initiatives over the past several years, and it’s time for them to do the same now. We will continue to pursue every option possible to protect our waters and our communities."

Chris Rust asks: Toledo residents: Would you be willing to host a medical student who could be working in our area at Valley View this summer.
The Rural Underserved Opportunities Program looks for community members to host medical students during the summer in order to increase the number of physicians who ultimately choose to work in rural communities. The commitment would be for four weeks beginning July 21. Room and access to bathroom and kitchen is all that is required. Med students typically work and study, so they are low-maintenance. If you can help, please contact Ellen Barton at ebarton@whatcom.edu.
