> Pittsburgh recently wrested the title of America’s most polluted city from Los Angeles—at least when it comes to short-term particle pollution like soot, aerosols, heavy metals and exhaust. But the city of 335,000, which has transitioned from an industrial town to one of the country’s most livable cities, may not be to blame for its bad air. **According to some research, much of Pittsburgh’s pollution is blown in from factories and power plants in Ohio.**

yeah I agree, I don’t think it actually said third dirtiest. How could we be? Compared to the rest of the list, I will take our short-term particle pollution over bathing in lead filled water any day.

Not sure if I believe it. Philthadelphia? DC? Baltimore? NYC? Dallas? LA? I don’t even see how a city as small as ours can break the top 10.
