Use the carousel below to explore the different topics related to air quality and health in Wisconsin.
Click through each panel to read a brief overview.
Community leaders across Wisconsin hear from local residents about concerns related to air quality and health. These concerns come from many places, including cities like Milwaukee and Green Bay, as well as smaller towns near highways, farms, and industrial areas. People across the state are noticing how air conditions can affect daily life, making this an issue many communities share.
Through regular meetings and conversations, community leaders listen to neighbors and learn how air conditions affect families in different parts of Wisconsin. From tribal lands and farming areas to small towns and city neighborhoods, these conversations help show how local conditions can shape everyday activities and well-being.
Many residents report similar experiences. Some children miss school because of breathing problems. Some families spend less time outside. Others worry about long-term health effects from nearby traffic, farming activity, or industrial work. Hearing these shared stories helps communities better understand who may be most affected and what kinds of support could help.
Community leaders believe residents know their own neighborhoods best. By sharing ideas across rural and urban areas, communities can learn from one another and find practical ways to address local concerns. This approach helps ensure solutions fit the needs and realities of each place.
Community leaders believe everyone in Wisconsin should have a chance to share their experiences and concerns about health and daily life. By listening to voices from across the state and building on ideas that already work locally, communities can help guide decisions in ways that reflect real experiences and serve people where they live.
