EPA science advisors are meeting in Raleigh to review new evidence on nitrogen oxide pollution—driven by booming AI data centers that ramp up fossil fuel use and diesel generators. NOx harms lungs, especially for kids and asthma sufferers, and new research suggests risks may occur at lower levels than previously thought. While no standards are being set this week, the panel’s findings will shape future policy. The push is on to assess health impacts before new data centers are built—and experts warn politics could be undermining science-driven decisions as energy demands surge.
