Student Pitch - Air to Plate:  From Polluted Air to Safer Food

Ever wonder if the air you breathe affects the food you eat? Or worried about how air pollution might be contaminating your meals without you even knowing it?

Aleeza Mian is a 9th grader from Texas who became fascinated by the hidden connection between environmental health and food safety!

So she built a solution!

Aleeza, darlin’, this project is downright amazing! I never really sat and thought about how the air we breathe could end up messin’ with the food on our plates, but you laid it out plain as day. It’s eye‑opening and easy to follow, like sittin’ on the porch listenin’ to a good story. What I love most is that your site ain’t just talk—it’s useful. That AQI tracker and those alerts? Well, that’s mighty handy. Folks can actually use it to look out for themselves and their families, and that’s somethin’ special. You’ve got vision way beyond your years, hon. Tying together air quality and food safety is somethin’ most people don’t even think about, but you’ve made it clear as sweet tea on a summer day. Keep on goin’, Aleeza—you’re showin’ the world that even young folks can tackle big problems. Proud of ya, girl!

This is fab!! I mean, as someone who’s always worried about pollution but never really thought about how it affects what I eat, this site is such an eye-opener. I didn’t realize that harmful particles from the air can actually settle on crops and get into our food—so important to know! Love how you made it easy to understand and practical too. It's even applicable!! You not only found the problem and spread awareness, but also addressed the root cause in a way that anyone can easily apply it into their lives. You rock!!
