Finally in a program that provided data on Air quality levels around the worldput the State Department yesterday, Tuesday, in a move that comes to add to actions already carried out by the Trump government to limit the environmental and climate -related science.

Sensors were used for this program in more than 80 US embassies and consulates – mainly in countries where such data were limited or unreliable.

A State Department spokesman confirmed the decision to suspend the program in a Washington Post email late Tuesday.

“From March 4, the ministry’s air quality monitoring program will no longer be able to transmit data of air pollution from our embassies and consulates … due to budget restrictions”, said the spokesman.

“The current budgetary climate requires us to make difficult cuts and unfortunately, we cannot continue to publish this information,” The spokesman added.

The data had been published at airnow.gov, a site maintained by the Environmental Protection Service, as well as in a mobile application called Zephair. Since Tuesday afternoon, Airnow’s website has a message that reports an error on the website.

“Sorry, but this website does not exist,” the message writes.

Zephair, however, continued to display data from sensors around the world, but it would not be clear when this application data would cease to be updated.

It is also unclear whether the billionaire Ilon Mask’s Doge ministry had played a role in the decision as it is trying to dramatically reduce spending across the federal government in recent weeks.
