Casually leaving out how California is famous for being painfully car dependent
California has stricter environmental requirements for their gasoline grades, so shouldn’t it make the air quality better? Or does the sheer number of drivers just offset it?
It has a little red infographic next to CA explaining that the high port activity, sheer number of drivers, and high temps are contribute to it being worse.
Looks like Wyoming and New Hampshire are the only non-polluted ones and NH barely at that.
Out cant tell me Oregon is worse than New York
I knew PA was actually the stinky one and not NJ!! Lmao
Mmm best part is most of the pm2.5 in the air is literally plastics (e.g. from tyres)
Because of the depression Denver sits in, and the mountains and valleys that surround it, for a brief time a few years ago during wildfires Denver had the worst air quality on the planet
