State of the air: 2009 Report

Did you know that 6 out of 10 of us live in areas with unhealthy air? Or that breathing polluted air can seriously harm your health and even shorten your life? Air pollution remains a real threat to tens of millions of our friends and family members. At the American Lung Association, we’re fighting for everyone’s right to breathe healthy air. We’ve just released our 10th annual State of the Air report. This report card grades the air quality in 1,000 counties across the country—helping you learn what’s lurking in your local air. The more you learn about the air you breathe, the more you can protect your health and take steps to make our air cleaner and healthier.

The State of the Air: 2009 uses data from state air quality monitors to grade the most widespread air pollutants that can damage your health—ozone and particle pollution . We’ve also compiled lists of the top 25 most polluted cities-- and the cleanest. Our special website lets you type in your zip code to quickly find your local grades, but it also does much more. Stateoftheair.org is a quick place to learn how air pollution affects your health, how to protect your family, and most importantly, what you can do to fight for healthy air.

Cleanest air?
Fargo, ja!
I thought it would be Montana or Wyoming or Eastern Oregon.
Guess I'm too far in the sticks for it to even be rated!

I don't even have to look, I know we're an "F".

When I first got to Vegas it wasn't that populated- Nevada still hadn't reached 1,000,000 as a state.

As time went on, whenever we came back from California on I-15, as Vegas got in sight (Vegas is a valley), you'd actually see this circle of brown air hanging over the valley and think, "That's where we live? Yuk."

Now I'm wondering if this study included chem trails in the St. Louis area.

Do they consider chem trails when they do these reports? I didn't consider that they would, but perhaps they should.
