Studies estimate that the impacts of air pollution account for upwards of 5% of annual global GDP, and yet annual funding to address air quality averages around only $30million annually. In this episode of our interview series, we speak with atmospheric scientist, and open data advocate Dr. Christa Hasenkopf about the importance of air quality data, and the outsized impact that funding streams for air pollution infrastructure can have on tackling air inequality.
