If the drop and rise of PM2.5 levels ends up being found to correlate strongly with the drop and possible rise of heart attack hospital admits during the pandemic, there’s going to be a reckoning in the car, truck, and asphalt industries.

If y’all know anyone with a hospital or clinic or degree in medicine, make sure they have a PM2.5 meter running and uploading data to whatever. There’ll be a lot of research studies that need as much of that data as we can collect, and outdoor sensors are cheap.
