Attorneys are investigating a possible data breach at Carolina Asthma and Allergy Center, a medical practice in the Carolinas. The inquiry may lead to a class action lawsuit on behalf of patients whose personal or medical information could have been exposed. Potential victims are being asked to come forward as lawyers assess the scope of the incident and whether the center failed to adequately protect sensitive patient data.

A new report finds that nearly 40% of the global population is expected to be exposed to dangerous levels of ozone pollution in 2026. Ground-level ozone, formed when emissions react in sunlight and heat, can worsen asthma and other respiratory conditions. The findings add to concerns about worsening air quality worldwide and its growing public health toll.
