Lung association reports fewer counties with unhealthy air
The American Lung Association's annual report shows a drop in counties recording unhealthy air from 441 to 390 for 2001 to 2003, due to cooler wet weather, coal plant controls, and cleaner vehicle emissions. Yet 152 million people live in counties with ongoing air problems, mostly in the Southeast, with ozone as the major issue and California leading in smog.
