Four of the five most polluted cities are in California, where wildfires, drought and extreme heat are driving the rise in hazardous air quality. More than 131 million people are exposed to harmful ozone and particle (PM 2.5) pollution, according to the American Lung Association\u2019s annual State of the Air report. That figure, which incorporates new, more stringent federal standards for particle pollution, represents an 11.7 million increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Exposure to these pollutants can raise the risk of lung and heart disease, asthma attacks, as well as reproductive ailments. Since the passing of the Clean Air Act in 1970, the combined emissions of six widespread air pollutants including PM 2.5 dropped by 78%, according to the EPA. But in recent years, pollution from wildfire smoke has reversed the improvements to air quality stemming from federal protections.<\/p>\n<p>California tops the list of states with the most polluted metropolitan areas, followed by Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. For the fifth year in a row, Bakersfield, California, has the nation\u2019s highest year-round particle pollution, while Los Angeles has the worst ozone pollution, or smog. People of color are more than twice as likely to live in counties with failing air quality, a legacy of racist zoning practices that allowed industrial plants, shipping ports and major highways to be placed in marginalized neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/apr\/24\/air-quality-pollution-unhealthy\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-516\/\">More than one-third of people in the US exposed to harmful air pollution \u2013 report<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[536,575,574],"class_list":["post-130005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air-pollution","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130005\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
