Pittsburgh has a history of pollution. It also has a history of people who refused to accept it, from Rachel Carson to the advocates fighting for clean air today.

I'm Nickolas Bartel, Clean Air Campaign Manager at PennFuture. I work on industrial air pollution in Allegheny County, alongside communities, through the regulatory process, and across the science and policy that determine what the air in this region actually looks like.

In Pittsburgh, with the right people in the room, you can get anything done.
