WBAI-FM (New York, NY)

Listen: Special On Toxic Air Alert What's Going On Last night, New York City sent out an alert that the air quality index was continuing to degrade, registering between 200 and 300--or purple--making it very unhealthy for everyone, especially for sensitive groups including children and the elderly. Outdoor workers, the homeless and those with pre-existing heart or lung issues also need to be mindful of their exposure to the toxic air. Wearing a high quality K95 mask can help reduce your exposure.

Listen Here WBAI spoke with David Toman, the executive director of the Sloop Clearwater, whose mission is to promote the protection of the Hudson River, about the U.S. Coast Guard's decision to force the iconic vessel from the Sail4th 250 maritime flotilla on Saturday. At issue, were the Constitutionally protected protest banners on the Clearwater's sails proclaiming support for the Clean Water Act as well as indigenous rights, racial justice and climate solutions.
