Who continues to lead the nation in pollution?


Who continues to lead the nation in pollution?

According to the American Lung Association’s 2024 State of the Air report, California cities occupy 6 of the top 10 slots for worst year‑round particle pollution. 

Breakdown of the Top 10 (2024 ALA Report)

California cities in the top 10:

  • Bakersfield, CA
  • Visalia, CA
  • Fresno–Madera–Hanford, CA
  • San Jose–San Francisco–Oakland, CA
  • Los Angeles–Long Beach, CA
  • Sacramento–Roseville, CA

That’s 6 out of 10, a clear majority. But they still pass law after law. And when it's pointed out that the laws don't work, they pass more laws and continue to do stupid things.
