"The State Department will no longer share data about foreign air pollution under a program that it says is designed to help U.S. personnel and travelers abroad.
A spokesperson for the department said via email that its Air Quality Monitoring Program “will no longer be able to transmit air pollution data from our embassies and consulates.”
The department said that “funding constraints” have caused State “to turn off the underlying network.”
It did not specify the reason for the cuts. However, the news comes as the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency seek massive cuts to government spending."
