SPOTLIGHT ISSUE
Do Urban Highways Make Us Cough?

Intensive monitoring of air quality near a major highway intersection  
could reveal a lot about how the air outside affects the air in our  
indoor environment. A team of scientists is establishing a unique air  
quality monitoring system that will help researchers learn more about  
urban air quality and how traffic in densely populated areas affects  
the health of people who live near busy highways.

FEATURED AUDIENCE
Parks Directors

Studies show that people with access to parks and playgrounds exercise  
more. Unfortunately, many Americans lack adequate access to public  
recreation opportunities, a situation that contributes to the nation's  
current epidemic levels of obesity and associated diseases. Intended  
for park and public health professionals and community advocates,  
Trust for Public Land's Park Equity and Public Health Toolkit provides  
training materials to help increase awareness of the link between  
accessible parks and physical activity; introduce the concept of local  
public finance for parks; and demonstrate the park equity mapping model.
