My friend Lindsey recently posted an article about air quality in the United States. To read the article, click here. Or, to find out exactly how your city measures up, click here. Hate to break it to you, but unless any of you moved to Fargo recently, most of you readers aren't breathing the cleanest of air. Pittsburgh apparently has the worst air quality in the United States, Frederick got an "F" for ozone, Buncome County North Carolina got "F"s on both particles and ozone, DC strikes out with double "F"s too. Providence is only slightly better with a "D" for particle quality. I could go on, but most of you live in big cities and generally, that's not good news for your lungs. Los Angeles of course still has terrible air quality, but maybe we should celebrate the little things in life: we have moved from worst to fourth worst in the country...
But amidst all of this bad news, I have some positive air quality news to report. Thanks to Kai Hagan and all of his supporters, the plans for the incinerator in Frederick, Maryland have been put on hold indefinitely. Everyone in Frederick can breathe a little more easily today, even if their ozone isn't top quality.
