In 2019 the UN Secretary-General estimated that polluted air is responsible for an estimated 7 million deaths per year world-wide, building on earlier research showing vehicle emissions to be responsible for ~200,000 early deaths in the US alone (Caiazzo et al.1). We focus this document on making the case that cities should provide Clean Air as a service and that air quality data is an essential element of managing this essential resource.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/uploads\/prod\/2020\/09\/Science-of-Air-Quality_Final.pdf\">Read Full Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/event\/urban-futures-summer-workshop\/\">Urban Futures Workshop 2020<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently humans on the planet have very little information about the quality of the air that they breathe as they move through their daily lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31130,"featured_media":716527,"template":"","meta":{"msr-url-field":"","msr-podcast-episode":"","msrModifiedDate":"","msrModifiedDateEnabled":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_classifai_error":"","msr-content-parent":144894,"footnotes":""},"research-area":[],"msr-locale":[268875],"msr-post-option":[],"class_list":["post-716524","msr-blog-post","type-msr-blog-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","msr-locale-en_us"],"msr_assoc_parent":{"id":144894,"type":"group"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-blog-post\/716524"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-blog-post"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/msr-blog-post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31130"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-blog-post\/716524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":718687,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-blog-post\/716524\/revisions\/718687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"msr-research-area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-area?post=716524"},{"taxonomy":"msr-locale","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-locale?post=716524"},{"taxonomy":"msr-post-option","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-post-option?post=716524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
