according to the American Lung Association, more than half of Americans (166 million people) live in places that are exposed to unhealthy particles and ozone pollution levels throughout the year. Every year, the association publishes an air condition report detailing pollution levels at official monitoring points. The best and worst cities in the United States are divided into three categories: Short-term particulate pollution, annual particulate pollution and ozone pollution. The acute effects of high ozone levels are usually reversible, and "prolonged exposure to particulate air" can exacerbate chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. If you're curious about the air you breathe, here's a list of the 50 most polluted cities in Alabama throughout the year.

According to the Atlanta National Public Radio (wabe), the implementation of the "green" locomotive will use a diesel engine to run two trains, which will further develop in the direction of clean air. Jamie Smith Hopkins of the Evansville Center for public integrity in Indiana says there are seven coal-fired power plants within 30 miles of Evansville. " In 2014, the third largest source of toxic gas emissions from power plants, factories and other facilities came from more than 20000 EPA 100 compounds, she wrote in today magazine. Academics call these plants "super polluters." Mary B. Collins, a researcher at the school of environmental science and forestry at New York State University, found that low-income communities and people of color were disproportionately exposed to poor air quality caused by super polluters. Although Indiana is one of the largest coal-fired States, it has no renewable energy requirements or contingency plans for climate change. Phoenix, Arizona, like many of the cities on the list, is geographically harmful to the city's air quality. The Central Valley forms a concave area to capture pollutants.

Kevin steward, director of environmental health, mid Atlantic, American Lung Association, air quality standards need to be more stringent. A major problem in Fairbanks, Alaska, is pollution from burning wood - burning in furnaces and in backyard stoves. " Most people think Alaska is one of the last good places to get rid of urban pollution. But they didn't spend a winter in Fairbanks or nearby Arctic town, where the air quality index (November 2013) was twice that of Beijing. "For Beijing residents living in one of the coldest residential areas in the world, burning wood and coal is a hard habit to break, especially because they have limited access to natural gas. In November 2015, the region issued the first ban on burning. Environmental groups are now suing EPA for failing to change the name of the Fairbanks Polaris region from medium to severe. The Associated Press reported that the change would force the region to develop more stringent measures, "such as requiring power plants to place additional filters in chimneys." Old wood and coal stoves need to be demolished before houses can be sold. "
