This visible image of the Gulf oil slick was taken on May 9, 2010, at 19:05 UTC (3:05 p.m. EDT) from MODIS aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Crude oil brings volatile organic compounds into the air which can react with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. �

Objectives: •  NASA’s Health & Air Quality

Applications Area supports the use of Earth observations in air quality management and public health, particularly regarding infectious disease and environmental health issues.

•  The area addresses issues of toxic and pathogenic exposure and health-related hazards and their effects for risk characterization and mitigation.

Health & Air Quality

•  The area promotes uses of

Earth observing data and models regarding implementation of air quality standards, policy, and regulations for economic and human welfare.

•  The Health & Air Quality Applications Area also addresses effects of climate change on public health and air quality to support managers and policy makers in their planning and preparations.

Technical: •  The portfolio is technically performing very well.

Budget/Cost: • Continue to carry a high burden of uncosted funds. Associates are working diligently with PIs to uncover issues

at their particular institutions. Many times this appears to be an issue of “invoice lag” between NASA and the institution. However, significant progress has been made; ~67% reduction in FY14 AND ~47% reduction in FY 15 uncosted from one year ago.

Schedule: • Overall the portfolio has a good track record for remaining on schedule, with NCEs mainly occurring in some

AQAST projects.

Performance: • Overall performance of the portfolio meets or exceeds expectations.

Overall: •  The Health and AQ program is performing satisfactorily.

Project Portfolio – 12 Active Projects in July 2016** ARL 1-3: 3 projects ARL 4-6: 9 project ARL 7-9: 0 projects

Mean: ARL 4 Median: ARL 4 Mode: 4

Performance since July 2015: 50% of projects increased by at least 1 ARL. 25% of projects increased by 2 ARL. **16 additional projects are AQAST, which do not report ARLs. However, major accomplishments were reported in the past year in the AQAST portfolio.

President Obama Explains How Pollution Affects our Planet Using Aura Satellite and OMI Data

Video of President Obama’s speech during which he discusses OMI data. One minute, 12 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKe5FdKInJs

•  On Apr 12, Dnews shared a one minute video on YouTube of President Obama discussing how the Aura satellite and OMI data track global pollution trends and the state of the Earth’s atmosphere.

•  The President noted that emissions of nitrogen dioxide have dropped in the U.S. and Europe over the last 25 years by up to 50% thanks to rules protecting the air.

•  Obama also highlighted how the satellite imagery helps see what actions are working and where additional international efforts are needed.

Dnews is a Discovery Channel initiative focused on unusual “mind-bending stories and perspectives.”
