Data centers could erase decades of air quality gains
A new report warns that the rapid expansion of data centers, driven largely by artificial intelligence demand, is increasing pollution and could undo decades of progress on air quality. The buildup of energy-hungry facilities is raising concerns about emissions, power plant reliance, and the environmental cost of the AI boom.
Why now: AI's surging energy demand has made the environmental footprint of data centers a pressing and widely debated issue.
