Nations Dirtiest and Cleanest Air

[Guest guest]

On the Today Show yesterday they said, 'I thought', an EPA report on

particulate matter said that CA and NY had dirtiest air, and South

Dakota, Montana and Wyoming had the cleanest. Particulate matter is

air is thought to cause many health problems. I've been trying to

find report so I can see where other states landed on this report but

haven't been able to find it. I've found other headlines on the report

but not the report. I called the EPA and talked to a fellow there who

said only report he knew of was in 2003. He wasn't aware of anything

more recent but he did say it would give state by state or county by

county assessments. If anyone looks this up and finds it, please post

it. I might try to do some more looking later.

EPA guy I talked to said perhaps it was report by Lung Association and

I did find a report there, at this link. Apparently they do these

periodically.
