Top 5 Air Polluted Cities while driving OTR

What about Los Angeles?

 

1) Los Angeles
2) Pittsburgh (smells like demon armpits)
3) New York (only been there once, it was smelly)
4) Phoenix has a funk to it, but it's mostly from Los Angeles
5) Houston seemed kinda funky

I never really focused on the pollution of certain places, but these did come to mind when I reached back into my memory.

 

Here's the list from Mother Nature Network :

# 1 - Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale

# 2 - Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside

# 3 - Pittsburg

# 4 - Birmingham

# 5 - Cincinnati

# 6 - St. Louis

 

guess i never hit phoenix at the right time. cuz i've never seen pollution.

it's all flat land. how can anything dirty get trapped??? whatever they put out just spreads out through the dessert. not like there's any mountains to trap there inversions.

 

Phoenix surprised me also; used to be where people retired that have lung problems because the air there was so clean & dry.

 

SLC is a nightmare. Winter time we have more red air quality days than not. In the summer it looks like God took a knife and spread peanut butter over the skyline

 

Los Angeles has been cleaned up real good since the everyday smog alerts of the 80s..it is very clear and nice most days...Our environmental wackos and tree huggers have done a good job and they aint done yet, get your truck & reefer compliant or they'll ban you too,!!!!
