T
hanks to the Clean Air Act, the United States continues
to make progress providing healthier air. e State of
the Air 2013 shows that the nations air quality is over-
all much cleaner, especially compared to just a decade ago.
Still, over 131.8 million people42 percent of the nation
live where pollution levels are too oen dangerous to breathe.
Despite that risk, some seek to weaken the Clean Air Act,
the public health law that has driven the cuts in pollution
since 1970.
e State of the Air 2013 report looks at levels of ozone and
particle pollution found in ocial monitoring sites across the
United States in 2009, 2010, and 2011. e report uses the
most current quality-assured nationwide data available for
these analyses.
e report examines
particle pollution
(PM
2.5
) in two dierent
ways: averaged year-
round (annual average)
and over short-term lev-
els (24-hour). For both
ozone and short-term
particle pollution, the
analysis uses a weighted
average number of days
that allows recognition
of places with higher
levels of pollution. For
the year-round particle
pollution rankings, the
report uses averages cal-
culated and reported by
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). For comparison, the State of the Air
2012 report covered data from 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Overall
Trends
anks to stronger standards for pollut-
ants and for the sources of pollution, the
United States has seen continued reduc-
tion in ozone and particle pollution as
well as other pollutants for decades. Figure 1 from the EPA
shows that since 1970, the air has gotten cleaner while the
population, the economy, energy use and miles driven in-
creased greatly. Even as the economy continues to recover aer

the recession, overall air emissions that create the six most
widespread pollutants continue to drop.
In 2009-2011, many places made strong progress over 2008-
2010, particularly in lower year-round levels of particle
pollution. anks to reductions in emissions from coal-red
power plants and the transition to cleaner diesel fuels and
engines, cleaner air shows up repeatedly in the monitoring
data, especially in the eastern U.S. Still, the science shows that
annual particle levels need to be much lower, as shown in the
EPAs decision in December 2012 to strengthen the national
air quality standards for ne particles for the rst time in
een years.
Most cities also continued the long-term trend for fewer high
ozone days, but not all. Many places recorded slightly more
unhealthy days on average than in 2008-2010, which had been
the best period to date. Warmer weather may have contributed
to the increase. e most common pollutant, ozone has already
proven to be one of the hardest to reduce. ese ndings add
to the evidence that the nation needs more aggressive tools to
secure continued reductions.
One disturbing trend is the increase in the number of days of
unhealthy particle levels in many cities. Although year-round
average levels for particles are steadily dropping, the reverse
is true for short-term spikes in days with high particle counts.
ese periods oen occur in the winter, as has happened in
Fairbanks (AK) and Salt Lake City in recent winters. In some
cities, the increase comes from increased burning of wood
and other fuels in the winter for heat, oen in highly polluting
indoor wood stoves or outdoor wood boilers.
Ozone
Fifteen of the 27 cities with the most
ozone pollution improved their air quality
over the past years report. Thirteen of the
countrys most smog-polluted cities experienced their best
year yet. Unfortunately, even with the improvements, people
living there are still forced to breathe air that reaches
dangerously unhealthy levels.
Los Angeles remained the city with the worst ozone pollution
problem, but reported its fewest unhealthy ozone days since
the State of the Air reports began. Los Angeles has one-third
fewer days of unhealthy air than in the rst report. Of the 27
metropolitan areas most polluted by ozone, twelve others also
reported their fewest unhealthy ozone days
2
: Visalia (CA);
Bakerseld (CA); Fresno; Sacramento; San Diego; Merced
(CA); Modesto (CA); New York City; Charlotte; Philadelphia;
Phoenix; and Pittsburgh. Two others also improved: Hanford
(CA); and San Luis Obispo (CA).
However, twelve cities suered more unhealthy days, includ-
ing three that moved for the rst time to the most polluted list:
Beaumont-Port Arthur (TX); Oklahoma City; and Tulsa (OK).
Other cities reporting more or worse days during 2009-2011
included Houston; Dallas; Washington, DC-Baltimore; El
Centro (CA); Cincinnati; Birmingham; Las Vegas; Louisville;
and St. Louis.
Year-round
Particle Pollution
Eighteen cities had
lower year-round levels
of particle pollution in
2009-2011, including
16 with their lowest levels recorded.
Bakerseld (CA) recorded its lowest levels ever in 2009-
2011, but tied with Merced (CA) as cities with the worst
year-round levels of particle pollution in the nation. Also on
this list are een other cities that reported their lowest levels
of year-round particle pollution: Hanford (CA); Los Angeles;
Visalia (CA); Pittsburgh; Cincinnati; Philadelphia; St. Louis;
Louisville; Canton (OH); Cleveland; Indianapolis; Steubenville
2 Complete names for all these metropolitan areas can be found in the tables
showing the most polluted and cleanest cities. The full metropolitan areas
often include multiple counties, incorporated cities and counties in adjacent
states, as the Oce of Management and Budget denes them.

24.8 million
people in the US live
in counties where the
outdoor air failed all
three tests.
(OH); Wheeling (WV); Birmingham; and Dayton (OH). Fair-
banks (AK) and Phoenix improved over the previous levels,
but had reported cleaner air in the past.
Unfortunately, seven cities saw their year-round levels in-
crease from previous reports.
3
Top of that list is Merced, where
year-round levels of particle pollution increased to their worst
reading ever to tie Bakerseld for most polluted city. Other
cities with worse annual levels were Fresno, Modesto (CA), El
Centro (CA), Macon (GA), Allentown (PA), and Atlanta.
anks in part to legal action taken by the American Lung
Association, the EPA strengthened the long-outdated limits on
year-round particle pollution in December, 2012. at crucial
step will drive more protection from deadly particles.
Short-term
Particle Pollution
Of the 25 cities with the
worst problem with spikes in
particle pollution, fourteen
had more days or worse
problems in 2009-2011 than in the previous report. For six
cities, this period held their worst record for short-term days
since the data started to be collected: Hanford (CA); Modesto
(CA); Merced (CA); Fairbanks (AK); Stockton (CA); and Las
Cruces (NM). Other cities with more days of unhealthy
particle pollution levels include: Los Angeles, Salt Lake City,
Chicago, Seattle, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Allentown (PA), and
Portland (OR).
Nine cities on the most polluted list continued to improve in
2009-2011. Five cities reported their best records yet: Fresno;
Pittsburgh; Visalia (CA); Eugene (OR); and San Diego. Other
cities improving include: Bakerseld (CA); Logan (UT); Provo
(UT); and Green Bay (WI). Two cities had the same number of
days as in the last report: Harrisburg (PA) and South Bend (IN).
3 These trends are based on prior available data. Not all cities had counties
with complete annual averages posted for all prior years.
Cleanest
Cities

Four cities ranked on all three
lists of the cleanest cities in
2009-2011. That means they had
no days in the unhealthy level for
ozone or short-term particle pollution and were on the list of
the cleanest cities for year-round particle pollution. Listed
alphabetically, the four cities are:

Bismarck (ND)
Cape Coral-Fort Myers (FL)
Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville (FL)
Rapid City (SD)
Sixteen cities ranked as the cleanest for both year-round and
short-term particle pollution, listed alphabetically:

People At Risk
Looking at the nation as a whole,
the American Lung Association
State of the Air 2013 nds
More than 4 in 10 people (42%) in the United States live
in counties that have unhealthful levels of either ozone
or particle pollution.
Over 131.8 million Americans live in the 254 counties
where they are exposed to unhealthful levels of air pollu-
tion in the form of either ozone or short-term or year-round
levels of particles.
Nearly 4 in 10 people in the United States (38%) live in
areas with unhealthful levels of ozone.
Counties that were graded F for ozone levels have a com-
bined population of over 119.3 million. ese people live
in the 191 counties where the monitored air quality places
them at risk for premature death, aggravated asthma, dif-
culty breathing, cardiovascular harm and lower birth
weight. e actual number who breathe unhealthy levels of
ozone is likely much larger, since this number does not in-
clude people who live in adjacent counties in metropolitan
areas where no monitors exist.
Fifteen percent (15%) of people in the United States live
in an area with too many days of unhealthful levels of
particle pollution.
Over 47.7 million Americans live in 58 counties that ex-
perienced too many days with unhealthy spikes in particle
pollution, a decrease from the last report. Short-term spikes
in particle pollution can last from hours to several days and
can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and emergency
room visits for asthma and cardiovascular disease, and most
importantly, can increase the risk of early death.
Over 44.3 million people (14%) in the United States live
in an area with unhealthful year-round levels of particle
pollution.
ese people live in areas where chronic levels are regularly
a threat to their health. Even when levels are fairly low,
exposure to particles over time can increase risk of hospi-
talization for asthma, damage to the lungs and, signicantly,
increase the risk of premature death.
Nearly 24.8 million people (8%) in the United States live
in 14 counties with unhealthful levels of all three: ozone
and short-term and year-round particle pollution.
With the risks from airborne pollution so great, the Ameri-
can Lung Association seeks to inform people who may be in
danger. Many people are at greater risk because of their age
or because they have asthma or other chronic lung disease, car-
diovascular disease or diabetes. e following list identies the
numbers of people in each at-risk group.
Older and YoungerOver 15.8 million adults age 65 and
over and nearly 32.3 million children under 18 years old
live in counties that received an F for at least one pollutant.
Over 2.8 million seniors and over 6.2 million children live
in counties failing all three tests.
People with AsthmaNearly 2.7 million children and over
8.7 million adults with asthma live in counties of the United
States that received an F for at least one pollutant. Over
460,000 children and over 1.5 million adults with asthma
live in counties failing all three tests.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)Over
5.8 million people with COPD live in counties that received
an F for at least one pollutant. Over 910,000 people with
COPD live in counties failing all three tests.
Cardiovascular DiseaseOver 32.5 million people with
cardiovascular diseases live in counties that received an F
for at least one pollutant; over 5.6 million live in counties
failing all three tests.
DiabetesOver 4.2million people with diabetes live in
counties that received an F for either short-term or year
round particle pollution; over 1.7 million live in counties
failing both tests. Having diabetes increases the risk of harm
from particle pollution.
THE STATE OF THE AI R 2013
PovertyOver 20.2 million people with incomes meeting
the federal poverty denition live in counties that received
an F for at least one pollutant. Over 4.5 million people in
poverty live in counties failing all three tests. Evidence
shows that people who have low incomes may face higher
risk from air pollution.
What Needs
To Be Done
Many major challenges require
the Administration, working
through the EPA, and Congress to
take steps to protect the health of
the public. Here are a few that the American Lung Association
calls for to improve the air we all breathe, starting with
cleaning up smokestacks and tailpipes.
Clean up harmful emissions from smokestacks
Toxic pollution. Coal-red power plants remain among the
largest contributors to particulate pollution, ozone, mer-
cury, and climate change. eir pollution blows across state
lines into states hundreds of miles away. ey produce 84
known hazardous air pollutants, including arsenic, mercury,
dioxins, formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride, as shown in
the Lung Association report Toxic Air: e Case for Cleaning
Up Coal-red Power Plants. ese smokestacks need clean-
ing up.
Carbon pollution. Power plants are the largest stationary
source of greenhouse gases in the United States. Energy pro-
duction accounts for 86 percent of total 2009 greenhouse gas
emissions, and the electric sector represents 39 percent of all
energy-related carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions.
4
In 2012, the
EPA proposed the rst ever limits on carbon pollution from
new power plants. Now the EPA needs to nish the job and
issue strong nal standards for carbon pollution from new and
existing plants.
4 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2009. Washington, DC: U.S. EPA, 2011. EPA 430-
R-11-005.
Transported ozone and particle pollution. In 2011, the EPA
set tough new limits on ozone and particle pollution that could
blow across state lines and add unhealthy air downwind. at
same year the EPA also, for the rst time, set national limits
on the toxic pollutants these power plants can emit. However,
these standards have been blocked in court. e Lung Associa-
tion has taken legal steps to defend the EPAs eorts. e EPA
and the states must move forward with actions to clean these
plants up.
Clean up harmful emissions from tailpipes
Gasoline, cars, light trucks and SUVs. e EPA needs to
set new pollution standards for cars, light trucks, SUVs and
reduced sulfur in gasoline to reduce nitrogen oxides, hydro-
carbons, and particle pollution emissions. People who live or
work near highways or busy roads bear a disproportionate
health burden from air pollution. Cleaner gasoline will reduce
pollution from every car on the road, reducing emissions as if
we suddenly removed 33 million cars from the road. Cleaner
vehicles will help reduce this impact for all, but especially those
who live closest to the trac.
Dirty diesel vehicles and heavy equipment. Rules the EPA
put in eect over the past several years mean that new diesel
vehicles and equipment must be much cleaner. Still, the vast
majority of diesel trucks, buses, and heavy equipment (such
as bulldozers) will likely be in use for thousands more miles,
spewing dangerous diesel exhaust into communities and
neighborhoods. e good news is that aordable technology
exists to cut emissions by 90 percent. Congress needs to fund
the EPAs diesel cleanup (retrot) program. Congress should
also require that clean diesel equipment be used in federally-
funded construction programs.
Reduce emissions of wood smoke
Residential wood-burning devices, including outdoor wood
boilers and stoves, are the largest residential source of particle
pollution. Emissions of harmful air pollutants from wood-
burning devices have worsened air quality and public health in
many cities, such as Fairbanks and Salt Lake City. ese devices
could have signicant impacts on their owners and immedi-
ate neighbors. e U.S. Census reports that nearly two percent
of all U.S. households use wood as a primary heat source.
5
In
2006, one study estimated that approximately 14 to 17 million
such devices were then in use in the United States.
6

Besides particle pollution, wood burning also produces
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and even
toxic air pollution. Studies have found that wood smoke
leads to coughing and shortness of breath, decreases in
lung function, and aggravated asthma and may even cause
cancer.
7

e EPA has not updated national standards for these devices
since 1988. Improved technologies in use today can limit
harmful emissions from wood-burning devices. e EPA
needs to update the standards to reect this new technology.
All wood-burning devices can burn cleaner to reduce impacts
on public health.
Emissions from outdoor wood boilers used to heat resi-
dences also need to be cleaned up. As their use increases,
the EPA is considering its options to regulate outdoor wood
boiler emissions. However, the agency has yet to issue a pro-
posal, originally scheduled for summer 2011 with nal rules
set for summer 2012. e EPA needs to adopt a standard to
limit emissions from these devices to avoid the patchwork of
state regulations currently in place.

Improve the air pollution monitoring network.
e grades in this report come from information from the
nationwide air pollution monitoring network. at network
forms the public health infrastructure for air pollution. States
and local governments use monitors to accurately measure the
amount of air pollution in the community.
Less than one-third of all counties have ozone or particle
pollution monitors, seriously limiting the ability to ad-
equately detect and track the levels of harmful air pollution.
Coverage is especially limited near major highways, where
people likely breathe higher levels of air pollution. e EPA
needs to expand the monitoring network to include com-
prehensive coverage in areas near major roads and high-
ways. ese monitors are needed to measure the highest
levels of exposures to air pollution related to trac.
Unfortunately, funds for existing air pollution monitors
have been cut across the nation. ese resources may be
cut further unless Congress and the White House resolve to
protect the health of the nation from air pollution.
Adopt an ozone standard that follows the law
and protects health
National air quality standards are the ocial limits that
drive the cleanup of air pollution around the nation. e
Clean Air Act requires that the EPA set national air qual-
ity standards based on the need to protect public health
with an adequate margin of safety. In 2001, the Supreme
Court unanimously ruled that protecting health was
the only basis for the standards. e Clean Air Act also
requires that the EPA review the standards every ve years
to make sure that the standards are based on the most
current science.
A federal court ruled in March, 2013 that the existing
standards for ozone, set in 2008, are out-of-date and fail to
adequately protect public health. e American Lung
Association led an action challenging the standards set
by the Bush Administration in 2008, and resumed the legal
battle following the Obama Administrations decision in
2011 to ignore the overwhelming scientic research and
the opinions of experts that much stronger standards were
needed. Now, the EPA has a second chance in December
2013, when it must propose a new standard under the regu-
lar review cycle.
e EPA estimated that setting the standard for ozone to
60 ppb would save 4,000 to 12,000 lives and prevent 21,000
hospitalizations, 58,000 asthma attacks, 5,300 heart attacks,
and result in 2.5 million fewer school and work days lost
each year. e lower ozone levels would yield $35 billion to
$100 billion in health and economic benets by 2020.
8
Protect the Clean Air Act
e continued improvement shown in the State of the Air
report is possible because of the Clean Air Act, the nations
strong public health law that the U.S. Congress passed over 40
years ago. e Act requires that the EPA and each state take
steps to clean up the air. Some members of Congress are pro-
posing changes to the Clean Air Act that could dismantle prog-
ress made in the last 40 years. We must keep that law strong to
continue to protect public health.
What You
Can Do
Individual citizens can do a great
deal to help reduce air pollution
outdoors as well. Simple but
eective ways include
Send a message to Congress. Urge them to support
cleaner, healthier air and oppose measures to block or delay
the cleanup of air pollution. ey should support and pro-
tect the Clean Air Act.

Standard (NAAQS). Available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/regdata/
RIAs/s1-supplemental_analysis_summary11-5-09.pdf .
Tell the EPA to set tighter standards for gasoline and
stricter tailpipe pollution standards for cars, trucks and
SUVs. e EPA also needs to set tighter standards for ozone.
Share your story. Do you or any member of your family
have a personal reason to want healthier, cleaner air? Go
to www.Fightingforair.org to let us know how healthy air
aects you.
Drive less. Combine trips, walk, bike, carpool or vanpool, and
use buses, subways or other alternatives to driving. Vehicle
emissions are a major source of air pollution. Support commu-
nity plans that provide ways to get around that dont require a
car, such as more sidewalks, bike trails and transit systems.
Use less electricity. Turn out the lights and use energy-
ecient appliances. Generating electricity is one of the big-
gest sources of pollution, particularly in the eastern United
States.
Dont burn wood or trash. Burning rewood and trash
are among the largest sources of particles in many parts of
the country. If you must use a replace or stove for heat,
convert your woodstoves to natural gas, which has far
fewer polluting emissions. Compost and recycle as much as
possible and dispose of other waste properly; dont burn it.
Support eorts in your community to ban outdoor burning
of construction and yard wastes. Avoid the use of outdoor
hydronic heaters, also called outdoor wood boilers, which
are frequently much more polluting than woodstoves.
Make sure your local school system requires clean
school buses, which includes replacing or retrotting old
school buses with lters and other equipment to reduce
emissions. Make sure your local schools dont idle their
buses, a step that can immediately reduce emissions.
Get involved. Participate in your communitys review of
its air pollution plans and support state and local eorts to
clean up air pollution. To nd your local air pollution con-
trol agency, go to www.4cleanair.org.

Notes:
1. Cities are ranked using the highest weighted average for any county within that Combined or Metropolitan Statistical Area.
2. Total Population represents the at-risk populations for all counties within the respective Combined or Metropolitan Statistical Area.
. Those under l8 and 65 and over are vulnerable to PM2.o and are, therefore, included. They should not be used as population denominators for disease estimates.
4. Pediatric asthma estimates are for those under 1o years of age and represent the estimated number of people who had asthma in 2C11 based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Adult asthma estimates are for those 1o years and older and represent the estimated number of people who had asthma in 2C11 based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Adding across rows does not produce valid estimates, e.g., summing pediatric and adult asthma.
7. COPD estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. CV disease is cardiovascular disease and estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
9. Diabetes estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
1C. Poverty estimates come from the U.S. Census Bureau and are for all ages.

Notes:
1 Counties are ranked by weighted average. See note 12 below.
2. Total Population represents the at-risk populations in counties with PM2.o monitors.
. Those under l8 and 65 and over are vulnerable to PM2.o and are, therefore, included. They should not be used as
population denominators for disease estimates.
4. Pediatric asthma estimates are for those under 1o years of age and represent the estimated number of people who had
asthma in 2C11 based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Adult asthma estimates are for those 1o years and older and represent the estimated number of people who had
7. COPD estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates (BRFSS)
applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. CV disease is cardiovascular disease and estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their
lifetime, based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
9. Diabetes estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates
(BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
11. The Weighted Average was derived by counting the number of days in each unhealthful range (orange, red, purple,
maroon) in each year (2CC9-2C11), multiplying the total in each range by the assigned standard weights (i.e., 1 for
orange, 1.o for red, 2.C for purple, 2.o for maroon), and calculating the average.
12. Grade is assigned by weighted average as follows: A=C.C, B=C.-C.9, C=1.C-2.C, D=2.1-.2, F=.+.

Notes:
1. Counties are ranked by weighted average. See note 1C below.
9. Poverty estimates come from the U.S. Census Bureau and are for all ages.
1C. The Weighted Average was derived by counting the number of days in each unhealthful range (orange, red, purple) in each year (2CC9-2C11), multiplying the total in each range by the assigned standard weights (i.e., 1 for orange, 1.o for red, 2.C
for purple), and calculating the average.

Health Eects of Ozone and Particle Pollution
T
wo types of air pollution dominate in the U.S.: ozone
and particle pollution.
1
ese two pollutants threaten the
health and the lives of millions of Americans. anks to
the Clean Air Act, the U.S. has far less of both pollutants now
than in the past. Still, nearly 132 million people live in counties
where monitors show unhealthy levels of one or both.
So what are ozone and particle pollution?
Ozone
Pollution
It may be hard to imagine that pollution
could be invisible, but ozone is. e most
widespread pollutant in the U.S. is also one
of the most dangerous.
Scientists have studied the eects of ozone on
health for decades. Hundreds of research stud-
ies have conrmed that ozone harms people at
levels currently found in the United States. In
the last few years, weve learned that it can also
be deadly.
What Is Ozone?
Ozone (O
3
) is a gas molecule composed of
three oxygen atoms. Oen called smog,
ozone is harmful to breathe. Ozone aggres-
sively attacks lung tissue by reacting chemi-
cally with it.
e ozone layer found high in the upper
atmosphere (the stratosphere) shields us from
much of the suns ultraviolet radiation. How-
ever, ozone air pollution at ground level where
we can breathe it (in the troposphere) causes
serious health problems.
Where Does Ozone Come From?
Ozone develops in the atmosphere from
gases that come out of tailpipes, smokestacks and many other
sources. When these gases come in contact with sunlight, they
react and form ozone smog.
e essential raw ingredients for ozone come from nitro-
gen oxides (NO
X
), hydrocarbons, also called volatile organic

If the ingredients are present under the right conditions, they
react to form ozone. And because the reaction takes place in
the atmosphere, the ozone oen shows up downwind of the
sources of the original gases. In addition, winds can carry
ozone far from where it began.

Ozone
You may have wondered why ozone action day warnings are
sometimes followed by recommendations to avoid activities
such as mowing your lawn or driving your car. Lawn mower
exhaust and gasoline vapors are VOCs that could turn into
ozone in the heat and sun.
Who is at risk from breathing ozone?
Anyone who spends time outdoors where ozone pollution lev-
els are high may be at risk. Five groups of people are especially
vulnerable to the eects of breathing ozone:
children and teens;
3

anyone 65 and older;
4
people who work or exercise outdoors;
5
people with existing lung diseases, such as asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (also known as
COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchi-
tis);
6
and
people with cardiovascular disease.
7

In addition, newer evidence suggests that other groupsin-
cluding women, people who suer from obesity and people
with low incomesmay also face higher risk from ozone.
8

More research is needed to conrm these ndings.
e impact on your health can depend on many factors,
however. For example, the risks would be greater if ozone lev-
els are higher, if you are breathing faster because youre work-
ing outdoors or if you spend more time outdoors.
Lifeguards in Galveston, Texas, provided evidence of the im-
pact of even short-term exposure to ozone on healthy, active
adults in a study published in 2008. Testing the breathing ca-
pacity of these outdoor workers several times a day, researchers
found that many lifeguards had greater obstruction in their
airways when ozone levels were high. Because of this research,
Galveston became the rst city in the nation to install an air
quality warning ag system on the beach.

How Ozone Pollution Harms Your Health
Premature death. Breathing ozone can shorten your life.
Strong evidence exists of the deadly impact of ozone in large
studies conducted in cities across the U.S., in Europe and in
Asia. Researchers repeatedly found that the risk of premature
death increased with higher levels of ozone.
10,11,12
Newer re-
search has conrmed that ozone increased the risk of prema-
ture death even when other pollutants also exist.
13

Even low levels of ozone may be deadly. A large study of 48
U.S. cities looked at the association between ozone and all-
cause mortality during the summer months. Ozone concentra-
tions by city in the summer months ranged from 16 percent
to 80 percent lower than the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) currently considers safe. Researchers found that
ozone at those lower levels was associated with deaths from
cardiovascular disease, strokes, and respiratory causes.
14

Immediate breathing problems. Many areas in the United
States produce enough ozone during the summer months to
cause health problems that can be felt right away. Immediate
problemsin addition to increased risk of premature death
include:
shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing;
asthma attacks;

increased risk of respiratory infections;
increased susceptibility to pulmonary inammation; and
increased need for people with lung diseases, like asthma or
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), to receive
medical treatment and to go to the hospital.
15
Cardiovascular ehects. Inhaling ozone may aect the heart as
well as the lungs. A 2006 study linked exposures to high ozone
levels for as little as one hour to a particular type of cardiac
arrhythmia that itself increases the risk of premature death
and stroke.
16
A French study found that exposure to elevated
ozone levels for one to two days increased the risk of heart
attacks for middle-aged adults without heart disease.
17
Several
studies around the world have found increased risk of hospital
admissions or emergency department visits for cardiovascular
disease.
18
Long-term exposure risks. New studies warn of serious eects
from breathing ozone over longer periods. With more long-
term data, scientists are nding that long-term exposurethat
is, for periods longer than eight hours, including days, months
or yearsmay increase the risk of early death.
Examining the records from a long-term national database,
researchers found a higher risk of death from respiratory
diseases associated with increases in ozone.
19

New York researchers looking at hospital records for chil-
drens asthma found that the risk of admission to hospitals
for asthma increased with chronic exposure to ozone.
Younger children and children from low-income families
were more likely to need hospital admissions even during
the same time periods than other children.
20

California researchers analyzing data from their long-term
Southern California Childrens Health Study found that
some children with certain genes were more likely to de-
velop asthma as adolescents in response to the variations in
ozone levels in their communities.
21
Studies link lower birth weight and decreased lung func-
tion in newborns to ozone levels in their community.
22
is
research provides increasing evidence that ozone may harm
newborns.
Breathing other pollutants in the air may make your lungs
more responsive to ozoneand breathing ozone may increase
your bodys response to other pollutants. For example, research
warns that breathing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxidetwo
pollutants common in the eastern U.S.can make the lungs
react more strongly than to just breathing ozone alone. Breath-
ing ozone may also increase the response to allergens in people
with allergies. A large study published in 2009 found that chil-
dren were more likely to suer from hay fever and respiratory
allergies when ozone and PM
2.5
levels were high.
23

EPA nds ozone causes harm. e EPA released their most
recent review of the current research on ozone pollution
in February 2013.
24
e EPA had engaged a panel of expert
scientists, the Clean Air Scientic Advisory Committee, to
help them assess the evidence, in particular research published
between 2006 and 2012. e EPA concluded that ozone pol-
lution posed multiple, serious threats to health. eir ndings
are highlighted in the box below.

Health Threats
Causes respiratory harm (e.g. worsened asthma, wors-
ened COPD, inammation)

term exposure)

Particle
Pollution
Ever look at dirty truck exhaust?
e dirty, smoky part of that stream of
exhaust is made of particle pollution.
Overwhelming evidence shows that particle pollutionlike that
coming from that exhaust smokecan kill. Particle pollution
can increase the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma
attacks and can interfere with the growth and work of the lungs.
What Is Particle Pollution?
Particle pollution refers to a mix of very tiny solid and liquid
particles that are in the air we breathe. But nothing about par-
ticle pollution is simple. And it is so dangerous it can shorten
your life.
Size matters. Particles themselves are dierent sizes. Some
are one-tenth the diameter of a strand of hair. Many are even
tinier; some are so small they can only be seen with an electron
microscope. Because of their size, you cant see the individual
particles. You can only see the haze that forms when millions
of particles blur the spread of sunlight.
e dierences in size make a big dierence in how they aect
us. Our natural defenses help us to cough or sneeze larger
particles out of our bodies. But those defenses dont keep out
smaller particles, those that are smaller than 10 microns (or
micrometers) in diameter, or about one-seventh the diameter
of a single human hair. ese particles get trapped in the lungs,
while the smallest are so minute that they can pass through
the lungs into the blood stream, just like the essential oxygen
molecules we need to survive.
Researchers categorize particles according to size, grouping them
as coarse, ne and ultrane. Coarse particles fall between 2.5
microns and 10 microns in diameter and are called PM
10-2.5
. Fine
particles are 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller and are called
PM
2.5
. Ultrane particles are smaller than 0.1 micron in diam-
eter
25
and are small enough to pass through the lung tissue into
the blood stream, circulating like the oxygen molecules them-
selves. No matter what the size, particles can harm your health.
A mixture of mixtures. Because particles are formed in so
many dierent ways, they can be composed of many dierent
compounds. Although we oen think of particles as solids, not
all are. Some are completely liquid; some are solids suspended
in liquids. As the EPA puts it, particles are really a mixture of
mixtures.
26

e mixtures dier between the eastern and western United
States and in dierent times of the year. For example, the Mid-
west, Southeast and Northeast states have more sulfate particles
than the West on average, largely due to the high levels of sulfur
dioxide emitted by large, coal-red power plants. By contrast,
nitrate particles from motor vehicle exhaust form a larger pro-
portion of the unhealthful mix in the winter in the Northeast,
Southern California, the Northwest, and North Central U.S.
27
Who Is at Risk?
Anyone who lives where particle pollution levels are high is
at risk. Some people face higher risk, however. People at the
greatest risk from particle pollution exposure include:
HUMAN HAIR
50-70m
(microns) in diameter
PM2.5
Combustion particles, organic
compounds, metals, etc.
< 2.5m (microns) in diameter
PM10
Dust, pollen, mold, etc.
< 10m (microns) in diameter
90m (microns) in diameter

Diabetics face increased risk at least in part because of their
higher risk for cardiovascular disease. A 2010 study examined
prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in relation to ne particle
pollution in 2004-2005. e evidence suggested that air pollu-
tion is a risk factor for diabetes.
30

What Can Particles Do to Your Health?
Particle pollution can be very dangerous to breathe. Breath-
ing particle pollution may trigger illness, hospitalization and
premature death, risks showing up in new studies that validate
earlier research.
anks to steps taken to reduce particle pollution, good news
is growing from researchers who study the drop in year-round
levels of particle pollution.
Looking at air quality in 545 counties in the U.S. between
2000 and 2007, researchers found that people had ap-
proximately four months added to their life expectancy on
average due to cleaner air. Women and people who lived in
urban and densely populated counties beneted the most.
31

Another long-term study of six U.S. cities tracked from 1974 to
2009 added more evidence of the benets. eir ndings sug-
gest that cleaning up particle pollution had almost immediate
health benets. ey estimated that the U.S. could prevent ap-
proximately 34,000 premature deaths a year if the nation could
lower annual levels of particle pollution by 1 g/m
3
.
32
ese studies add to the growing research that cleaning up air
pollution improves life and health.
33
Other researchers estimated
that reductions in air pollution can be expected to produce
rapid improvements in public health, with fewer deaths occur-
ring within the rst two years aer reductions.
34
Researchers are exploring possible dierences in health eects
of the three sizes of particles and particles from dierent sources,
such as diesel particles from trucks and buses or sulfates from
coal-red power plants. So far, the evidence remains clear that
particles of all sizes from all sources can be dangerous.
35

Short-Term Exposure Can Be Deadly
First and foremost, short-term exposure to particle pollution
can kill. Peaks or spikes in particle pollution can last for hours
to days. Deaths can occur on the very day that particle levels
are high, or within one to two months aerward. Particle pol-
lution does not just make people die a few days earlier than
they might otherwisethese are deaths that would not have
occurred if the air were cleaner.
36

Particle pollution also diminishes lung function, causes greater
use of asthma medications and increased rates of school absen-
teeism, emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Other
adverse eects can be coughing, wheezing, cardiac arrhythmias
and heart attacks. According to the ndings from some of the
latest studies, short-term increases in particle pollution have
been linked to:
death from respiratory and cardiovascular causes, including
strokes;
37,38,39,40
increased mortality in infants and young children;
41
increased numbers of heart attacks, especially among the
elderly and in people with heart conditions;
42
inammation of lung tissue in young, healthy adults;
43
increased hospitalization for cardiovascular disease, includ-
ing strokes and congestive heart failure;
44,45,46
increased emergency room visits for patients suering from
acute respiratory ailments;
47
increased hospitalization for asthma among children;
48,49,50

and
increased severity of asthma attacks in children.
51
Again, the impact of even short-term exposure to particle pol-
lution on healthy adults showed up in the Galveston lifeguard
study, in addition to the harmful eects of ozone pollution.
Lifeguards had reduced lung volume at the end of the day
when ne particle levels were high.
52
Year-Round Exposure
Breathing high levels of particle pollution day in and day out
also can be deadly, as landmark studies in the 1990s conclu-
sively showed.
53
Chronic exposure to particle pollution can
shorten life by one to three years.
54
Other impacts range from
premature births to serious respiratory disorders, even when
the particle levels are very low.
Year-round exposure to particle pollution has also been linked to:
increased hospitalization for asthma attacks for children
living near roads with heavy truck or trailer trac;
55,56
slowed lung function growth in children and teenagers;
57,58
signicant damage to the small airways of the lungs;
59
increased risk of dying from lung cancer;
60
increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease;
61
and
increased risk of lower birthweight and infant mortality.
62
Research into the health risks of 65,000 women over age 50
found that those who lived in areas with higher levels of par-
ticle pollution faced a much greater risk of dying from heart
disease than had been previously estimated. Even women who
lived within the same city faced diering risks depending on
the annual levels of pollution in their neighborhood.
63
e EPA released their most recent review of the current
research on particle pollution in December 2009.
64
e Agency
had engaged a panel of expert scientists, the Clean Air Scien-
tic Advisory Committee, to help them assess the evidence, in
particular research published between 2002 and May 2009. e
EPA concluded that particle pollution caused multiple, seri-
ous threats to health. eir ndings are highlighted in the box
below.

Where Does Particle Pollution Come From?
Particle pollution is produced through two separate process-
esmechanical and chemical.
Mechanical processes break down bigger bits into smaller bits
with the material remaining essentially the same, only becom-
ing smaller. Mechanical processes primarily create coarse
particles.
65
Dust storms, construction and demolition, mining
operations, and agriculture are among the activities that pro-
duce coarse particles. Tire, brake pad and road wear can also
create coarse particles. Bacteria, pollen, mold, and plant and
animal debris are also included as coarse particles.
66
By contrast, chemical processes in the atmosphere create most of
the tiniest ne and ultrane particles. Combustion sources burn
fuels and emit gases. ese gases can vaporize and then condense
to become a particle of the same chemical compound. Or, they
can react with other gases or particles in the atmosphere to form
a particle of a dierent chemical compound. Particles formed by
this latter process come from the reaction of elemental carbon
(soot), heavy metals, sulfur dioxide (SO
2
), nitrogen oxides (NO
x
)
and volatile organic compounds with water and other compounds
in the atmosphere.
67
Burning fossil fuels in factories, power plants,
steel mills, smelters, diesel- and gasoline-powered motor vehicles
(cars and trucks) and equipment generate a large part of the raw
materials for ne particles. So does burning wood in residential
replaces and wood stoves or burning agricultural elds or forests.
Focusing on
Childrens Health
Children face special risks
from air pollution because
their lungs are growing and
because they are so active.
Just like the arms and legs, the largest portion of a childs lungs
will grow long aer he or she is born. Eighty percent of their
tiny air sacs develop aer birth. ose sacs, called the alveoli, are
where the life-sustaining transfer of oxygen to the blood takes
place. e lungs and their alveoli arent fully grown until chil-
dren become adults.
68
In addition, the bodys defenses that help
adults ght o infections are still developing in young bodies.
69

Children have more respiratory infections than adults, which
also seems to increase their susceptibility to air pollution.
70
Furthermore, children dont behave like adults, and their
behavior also aects their vulnerability. ey are outside for
longer periods and are usually more active when outdoors.
Consequently, they inhale more polluted outdoor air than
adults typically do.
71

Air Pollution Increases Risk of
Underdeveloped Lungs
Another nding from the Southern California Childrens
Health study looked at the long-term eects of particle pollu-
tion on teenagers. Tracking 1,759 children between ages 10 and
18, researchers found that those who grew up in more polluted
areas face the increased risk of having underdeveloped lungs,
which may never recover to their full capacity. e average
drop in lung function was 20 percent below what was expected
for the childs age, similar to the impact of growing up in a
home with parents who smoked.
72
Community health studies are pointing to less obvious, but
serious eects from year-round exposure to ozone, especially
for children. Scientists followed 500 Yale University students
and determined that living just four years in a region with high
levels of ozone and related co-pollutants was associated with
diminished lung function and frequent reports of respiratory
symptoms.
73
A much larger study of 3,300 school children in
Southern California found reduced lung function in girls with
asthma and boys who spent more time outdoors in areas with
high levels of ozone.
74
Cleaning Up Pollution Can Reduce
Risk to Children
ere is also real-world evidence that reducing air pollution
can help protect children.
In Switzerland, particle pollution dropped during a period in the
1990s. Researchers there tracked 9,000 children over a nine-year
period, following their respiratory symptoms. Aer taking other
factors such as family characteristics and indoor air pollution
into account, the researchers noted that during the years with
less pollution, the children had fewer episodes of chronic cough,
bronchitis, common cold, and conjunctivitis symptoms.
75
Disparities in
the Impact of
Air Pollution
e burden of air pollution is not
evenly shared. Poorer people and
some racial and ethnic groups are
among those who oen face
higher exposure to pollutants and
who may experience greater
responses to such pollution. Many studies have explored the
dierences in harm from air pollution to racial or ethnic
groups and people who are in a low socioeconomic position,
have less education, or live nearer to major sources,
76
including
a workshop the American Lung Association held in 2001 that
focused on urban air pollution and health inequities.
77

Many studies have looked at dierences in the impact on pre-
mature death. Results have varied widely, particularly for eects
between racial groups. Some studies have found no dierences
among races,
78
while others found greater responsiveness for
Whites and Hispanics, but not African Americans,
79
or for
African Americans but not other races or ethnic groups.
80

Other researchers have found greater risk for African Americans
from air toxics, including those pollutants that also come from
trac sources.
81

Socioeconomic position has been more consistently associated
with greater harm from air pollution. Recent studies show evi-
dence of that link. Low socioeconomic status consistently in-
creased the risk of premature death from ne particle pollution
among 13.2 million Medicare recipients studied in the largest
examination of particle pollution mortality nationwide.
82
In
the 2008 study that found greater risk for premature death
for African Americans, researchers also found greater risk for
people living in areas with higher unemployment or higher use
of public transportation.
83
A 2008 study of Washington, DC
found that while poor air quality and worsened asthma went
hand-in-hand in areas where Medicaid enrollment was high,
the areas with the highest Medicaid enrollment did not always
have the strongest association of high air pollution and asthma
attacks.
84
However, two other recent studies in France have
found no association with lower income and asthma attacks.
85

Scientists have speculated that there are three broad reasons
why disparities may exist. First, groups may face greater
exposure to pollution because of factors ranging from racism
to class bias to housing market dynamics and land costs. For
example, pollution sources may be located near disadvantaged
communities, increasing exposure to harmful pollutants. Sec-
ond, low social position may make some groups more suscep-
tible to health threats because of factors related to their disad-
vantage. Lack of access to health care, grocery stores and good
jobs, poorer job opportunities, dirtier workplaces or higher
trac exposure are among the factors that could handicap
groups and increase the risk of harm. Finally, existing health
conditions, behaviors, or traits may predispose some groups to
greater risk. For example, diabetics are among the groups most
at risk from air pollutants, and the elderly, African Americans,
Mexican Americans and people living near a central city have
higher incidence of diabetes.
86
Communities of color also may be more likely to live in coun-
ties with higher levels of pollution. In a 2011 analysis of the
population and air quality reported in the American Lung
Associations State of the Air 2009 report, researchers found that
non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics were more likely to live in
counties that had worse problems with particle pollution. Non-
Hispanic Blacks were also more likely to live in counties with
worse ozone pollution. Income groups, by contrast, diered
little in these exposures. However, since few rural counties
have monitors, the primarily older, non-Hispanic white resi-
dents of those counties lack information about the air quality
in their communities.
87

Unemployed people, those with low income or low education
and non-Hispanic Blacks were found to be more likely to live
in areas with higher exposures to particle pollution in a 2012
study. However, the dierent racial/ethnic and income groups
were breathing oen very dierent kinds of particles; the dif-
ferent composition and structure of these particles may have
dierent health impacts.
88
Highways May Be Especially
Dangerous for Breathing
Being in heavy trac, or living near a road, may be even more
dangerous than being in other places in a community. Grow-
ing evidence shows that the vehicle emissions coming directly
from those highways may be higher than in the community as
a whole, increasing the risk of harm to people who live or work
near busy roads.
e number of people living next to a busy road may include
30 to 45 percent of the population in North America, accord-
ing to the most recent review of the evidence. In January 2010,
the Health Eects Institute published a major review of the
evidence by a panel of expert scientists. e panel looked at
over 700 studies from around the world, examining the health
eects. ey concluded that trac pollution causes asthma
attacks in children, and may cause a wide range of other ef-
fects including: the onset of childhood asthma, impaired lung
function, premature death and death from cardiovascular
diseases, and cardiovascular morbidity. e area most aected,
they concluded, was roughly 0.2 mile to 0.3 mile (300 to 500
meters) from the highway.
89

Children and teenagers are among the most vulnerable
though not the only ones at risk. A Danish study found that
long-term exposure to trac air pollution may increase the risk
of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
ey found that those most at risk were people who already
had asthma or diabetes.
90
Studies have found increased risk of
premature death from living near a major highway or an urban
road.
91
Another study found an increase in risk of heart attacks
from being in trac, whether driving or taking public transpor-
tation.
92
Urban women in a Boston study experienced de-
creased lung function associated with trac-related pollution.
93
How to Protect Yourself from Ozone and
Particle Pollution
To minimize your exposure to ozone and particle pollution:
Pay attention to forecasts for high air pollution days to know
when to take precautions;
Avoid exercising near high-trac areas;
Avoid exercising outdoors when pollution levels are high, or
substitute an activity that requires less exertion;
Do not let anyone smoke indoors and support measures to
make all places smokefree; and
Reduce the use of replaces and wood-burning stoves.
Bottom line: Help yourself and everyone else breathe easier.
Support national, state and local eorts to clean up sources
of pollution. Your life and the life of someone you love may
depend on it.
1 Ozone and particle pollution are the most widespread, but they arent the only
serious air pollutants. Others include carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide,
and sulfur dioxide, as well as scores of toxins such as mercury, arsenic, benzene,
formaldehyde, and acid gases. However, the monitoring networks are not as
widespread nationwide for the other pollutants.

Methodology
Statistical
Methodology:
The Air
Quality Data
Data Sources
e data on air quality through-
out the United States were
obtained from the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agencys Air
Quality System (AQS), formerly
called Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS)
database. e American Lung Association contracted with
Dr. Allen S. Lefohn, A.S.L. & Associates, Helena, Montana, to
characterize the hourly averaged ozone concentration informa-
tion and the 24-hour averaged PM
2.5
concentration information
for the 3-year period for 2009-2011 for each monitoring site.
Design values for the annual PM
2.5
concentrations by county
for the period 2009-2011 were downloaded on October 3, 2012
from the EPAs website at http://www.epa.gov/air/airtrends/
values.html. ey were updated with the revised design values
posted on December 14, 2012 at http://www.epa.gov/airqual-
ity/particlepollution/2012/20092011table.pdf.
Ozone Data Analysis
e 2009, 2010, and 2011 AQS hourly ozone data were used
to calculate the daily 8-hour maximum concentration for each
ozone-monitoring site. e hourly averaged ozone data were
downloaded on June 29, 2012. e data were considered for
a 3-year period for the same reason that the EPA uses three
years of data to determine compliance with the ozone stan-
dard: to prevent a situation in any single year, where anoma-
lies of weather or other factors create air pollution levels,
which inaccurately reect the normal conditions. e high-
est 8-hour daily maximum concentration in each county for
2009, 2010, and 2011, based on the EPA-dened ozone season,
was identied.
e current national ambient air quality standard for ozone is
0.075 ppm measured over eight hours. e EPAs Air Quality
Index reects the 0.075 ppm standard. A.S.L. & Associates pre-
pared a table by county that summarized, for each of the three
years, the number of days the ozone level was within the ranges
identied by the EPA based on the EPA Air Quality Index:
8-hour Ozone
Concentration Air Quality Index Levels
0.000 0.059 ppm Good (Green)
0.060 0.075 ppm Moderate (Yellow)
0.076 0.095 ppm Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
(Orange)
0.096 0.115 ppm Unhealthy (Red)
0.116 0.374 ppm Very Unhealthy (Purple)
>0.374 ppm Hazardous (Maroon)
e goal of this report was to identify the number of days that
8-hour daily maximum concentrations occurred within the
dened ranges, not just those days that would fall under the
requirements for attaining the national ambient air quality
standards. erefore, no data capture criteria were applied to
eliminate monitoring sites or to require a number of valid days
for the ozone season. All valid days of data within the ozone
season were used in the analysis. However, for computing an
8-hour average, at least 75 percent of the hourly concentra-
tions (i.e., 6-8 hours) had to be available for the 8-hour period.
In addition, an 8-hour daily maximum average was identied
if valid 8-hour averages were available for at least 75 percent
of possible hours in the day (i.e., at least 18 of the possible 24
8-hour averages). Because the EPA includes days with inad-
equate data if the standard value is exceeded, our data capture
methodology may result at times in underestimations of the
number of 8-hour averages within the higher concentration
ranges. However, our experience is that underestimates are
infrequent.
Following receipt of the above information, the American
Lung Association identied the number of days each county,
with at least one ozone monitor, experienced air quality desig-
nated as orange (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups), red (Un-
healthy), or purple (Very Unhealthy).
Short-term Particle Pollution Data Analysis
A.S.L. & Associates identied the maximum daily 24-hour AQS
PM
2.5
concentration for each county in 2009, 2010, and 2011
with monitoring information. e 24-hour PM
2.5
data were
downloaded on August 13, 2012. In addition, hourly averaged
PM
2.5
concentration data were characterized into 24-hour aver-
age PM
2.5
values by the EPA and provided to A.S.L. & Associ-
ates. Using these results, A.S.L. & Associates prepared a table by
county that summarized, for each of the 3 years, the number of
days the maximum of the daily PM
2.5
concentration was within
the ranges identied by the EPA based on the EPA Air Quality
Index, as adopted by the EPA on December14, 2012:

(Purple)
greater than or equal to 250.5 g/m
3
Hazardous (Maroon)
All previous data collected for 24-hour average PM
2.5
were
reassessed using these AQI thresholds, above.
e goal of this report was to identify the number of days that
the maximum in each county of the daily PM
2.5
concentration
occurred within the dened ranges, not just those days that
would fall under the requirements for attaining the national
ambient air quality standards. erefore, no data capture
criteria were used to eliminate monitoring sites. Both 24-hour
averaged PM data as well as hourly averaged PM data aver-
aged over 24 hours were used. Included in the analysis are data
collected using only FRM and FEM methods, which reported
hourly and 24-hour averaged data. As instructed by the Lung
Association, A.S.L. & Associates included the exceptional and
natural events that were identied in the database and identi-
ed for the Lung Association the dates and monitoring sites
that experienced such events. Some data have been agged by
the state or local air pollution control agency to indicate that
they had raised issues with the EPA about those data.
Following receipt of the above information, the American
Lung Association identied the number of days each county,
with at least one PM
2.5
monitor, experienced air quality desig-
nated as orange (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups), red (Un-
healthy), purple (Very Unhealthy) or maroon (Hazardous).
Description
of County
Grading System
Ozone and
short-term
particle pollution
(24-hour PM
2.5
)
e grades for ozone and
short-term particle pollution (24-hour PM
2.5
) were based on a
weighted average for each county. To determine the weighted
average, the Lung Association followed these steps:
1. First, assigned weighting factors to each category of the Air
Quality Index. e number of orange days experienced by
each county received a factor of 1; red days, a factor of 1.5;
purple days, a factor of 2; and maroon days, a factor of 2.5.
is allowed days where the air pollution levels were higher
to receive greater weight.
2. Next, multiplied the total number of days within each cat-
egory by their assigned factor, then summed all the catego-
ries to calculate a total.
METHODOLOGY
3. Finally, divided the total by three to determine the weighted
average, since the monitoring data were collected over a
three-year period.
e weighted average determined each countys grades for
ozone and 24-hour PM
2.5
.
All counties with a weighted average of zero (correspond-
ing to no exceedances of the standard over the three-year
period) were given a grade of A.
For ozone, an F grade was set to generally correlate with
the number of unhealthy air days that would place a county
in nonattainment for the ozone standard.
For short-term particle pollution, fewer unhealthy air days
are required for an F than for nonattainment under the
PM
2.5
standard. e national air quality standard is set to al-
low two percent of the days during the three years to exceed
35 g/m
3
(called a 98th percentile form) before violating
the standard. at would be roughly 21 unhealthy days in
three years. e grading used in this report would allow only
about one percent of the days to be over 35 g/m
3
(called a
99th percentile form) of the PM
2.5
. e American Lung
Association supports using the tighter limits in a 99th per-
centile form as a more appropriate standard that is intended
to protect the public from short-term spikes in pollution.
Grading System

Grade
Weighted
Average
Approximate Number of Allowable
Orange/Red/Purple/Maroon days
A 0.0 None
B 0.3 to 0.9 1 to 2 orange days with no red
C 1.0 to 2.0 3 to 6 days over the standard: 3 to 5
orange with no more than 1 red OR
6 orange with no red
D 2.1 to 3.2 7 to 9 days over the standard: 7
total (including up to 2 red) to 9
orange with no red
F 3.3 or higher 9 days or more over the standard: 10
orange days or 9 total including at
least 1 or more red, purple or maroon
Weighted averages allow comparisons to be drawn based on
severity of air pollution. For example, if one county had nine
orange days and no red days, it would earn a weighted aver-
age of 3.0 and a D grade. However, another county which had
only eight orange days but also two red days, which signify
days with more serious air pollution, would receive an F. at
second county would have a weighted average of 3.7.
Note that this system diers signicantly from the methodolo-
gy the EPA uses to determine violations of both the ozone and
the 24-hour PM
2.5
standards. e EPA determines whether a
county violates the standard based on the 4th maximum daily
8-hour ozone reading each year averaged over three years.
Multiple days of unhealthy air beyond the highest four in each
year are not considered. By contrast, the system used in this
report recognizes when a communitys air quality repeatedly
results in unhealthy air throughout the three years. Conse-
quently, some counties will receive grades of F in this report,
showing repeated instances of unhealthy air, while still meeting
the EPAs 2008 ozone standard. e American Lung Associa-
tions position is that the evidence shows that the 2008 ozone
standard fails to protect public health.
Counties were ranked by weighted average. Metropolitan areas
were ranked by the highest weighted average among the coun-
ties within a given Metropolitan Statistical Area as of 2009 as
dened by the White House Oce of Management and Budget
(OMB).
Year-round particle pollution (Annual PM
2.5
)
Since no comparable Air Quality Index exists for year-round
particle pollution (annual PM
2.5
), the grading was based on
EPAs determination of the national ambient air quality stan-
dard for annual PM
2.5
of 12 g/m
3
. Counties that EPA listed
as being at or below 12 g/m
3
were given grades of Pass.
Counties EPA listed as being at or above 12.1 g/m
3
were given
grades of Fail. Where insucient data existed for EPA to
determine a design value, those counties received a grade of
Incomplete.
Design value is the calculated concentration of a pollutant
based on the form of the national ambient air quality standard
and is used by EPA to determine whether or not the air qual-
ity in a county meets the standard. Counties were ranked by
design value. Metropolitan areas were ranked by the highest
design value among the counties within a given Metropolitan
Statistical Area as of 2010 as dened by the OMB.
e Lung Association received critical assistance from mem-
bers of the National Association of Clean Air Administrators,
formerly known as the State and Territorial Air Pollution Con-
trol Administrators and the Association of Local Air Pollution
Control Administrators. With their assistance, all state and lo-
cal agencies were provided the opportunity to review and com-
ment on the data in dra tabular form. e Lung Association
reviewed all discrepancies with the agencies and, if needed,
with Dr. Lefohn at A.S.L. & Associates. Questions about the
annual PM design values were referred to Mr. Mark Schmidt
of EPA, who reviewed and had nal decision on those deter-
minations. e American Lung Association wishes to express
its continued appreciation to the state and local air directors
for their willingness to assist in ensuring that the characterized
data used in this report are correct.
Calculations
of Populations-
at-Risk
Presently, county-specic
measurements of the number of
persons with chronic conditions
are not generally available. In
order to assess the magnitude
of chronic conditions at the state and county levels, we have
employed a synthetic estimation technique originally
developed by the U.S. Census Bureau. is method uses
age-specic national and state estimates of self-reported
conditions to project disease prevalence to the county level.
e exception to this is poverty, for which estimates are
available at the county level.
Population Estimates
Total population for each county was obtained from U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau summary les of the 2011 decennial census data,
which included age- and gender-specic breakdowns.
Poverty estimates came from the Census Bureaus Small Area
Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. e program
does not use direct counts or estimates from sample surveys, as
these methods would not provide sucient data for all coun-
ties. Instead, a model based on estimates of income or poverty
from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) to
the Current Population Survey (CPS) is used to develop esti-
mates for all states and counties.
Prevalence Estimates
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Cardiovascular
Disease, Asthma and Diabetes. In 2011, the Behavioral Risk
Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey found that approxi-
mately 20.5 million (8.8 percent) of adults residing in the United
States and 8.6 percent of children from thirty-four states and
Washington, D.C. reported currently having asthma. Among
adults in the United States in 2011, the survey found that 14.7
million (6.4 percent) had ever been diagnosed with chronic ob-
structive pulmonary disease (COPD), 79.5 million (34.0 percent)
had ever been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, and 22.6
million (9.6 percent) had ever been diagnosed with diabetes.
e prevalence estimate for pediatric asthma is calculated for
those younger than 18 years. Local area prevalence of pediatric
asthma is estimated by applying 2011 state prevalence rates,
or if not available, the national rate from the BRFSS to pedi-
atric county-level resident populations obtained from the U.S.
Census Bureau web site. Pediatric asthma data from the 2011
BRFSS were available for thirty-four states and Washington
D.C., and national data were used for the sixteen states
1
that
1 Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky,
Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming.
had no data available. Data from earlier years were not used
due to changes in the 2011 survey methodology.
e prevalence estimate for COPD, cardiovascular disease,
adult asthma and diabetes is calculated for those aged 18-44
years, 45-64 years and 65 years and older. Local area preva-
lence for these diseases is estimated by applying age-specic
state prevalence rates from the 2011 BRFSS to age-specic
county-level resident populations obtained from the U.S.
Census Bureau web site. Cardiovascular disease included ever
having been diagnosed with a heart attack, angina or coronary
heart disease, stroke, or high blood pressure (excluding bor-
derline or pre-hypertensive and women only when pregnant).
Limitations of Estimates. Since the statistics presented by the
BRFSS and SAIPE are based on a sample, they will dier (due
to random sampling variability) from gures that would be de-
rived from a complete census or case registry of people in the
U.S. with these diseases. e results are also subject to report-
ing, non-response and processing errors. ese types of errors
are kept to a minimum by methods built into the survey.
Additionally, a major limitation of the BRFSS is that the infor-
mation collected represents self-reports of medically diagnosed
conditions, which may underestimate disease prevalence since
not all individuals with these conditions have been properly
diagnosed. However, the BRFSS is the best available source for
information on the magnitude of chronic disease at the state
level. e conditions covered in the survey may vary consid-
erably in the accuracy and completeness with which they are
reported.
Local estimates of chronic diseases are scaled in direct propor-
tion to the base population of the county and its age distribu-
tion. No adjustments are made for other factors that may aect
local prevalence (e.g. local prevalence of cigarette smokers or
occupational exposures) since the health surveys that obtain
such data are rarely conducted on the county level. Because
the estimates do not account for geographic dierences in
the prevalence of chronic and acute diseases, the sum of the
estimates for each of the counties in the United States may not
exactly reect the national or state estimates derived from the
BRFSS.

State Tables
Notes for all state data tables
1. Total Population is based on 2011 US Census and represents
the at-risk populations in counties with ozone or PM
2.5
pollution
monitors; it does not represent the entire states sensitive
populations.
2. Those under 18 and 65 & over are vulnerable to ozone and
PM
2.5
. Do not use them as population denominators for disease
estimatesthat will lead to incorrect estimates.
3. Pediatric asthma estimates are for those under 18 years of age
and represent the estimated number of people who had asthma
in 2011 based on the state rates when available or national
rates when not (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, or
BRFSS), applied to county population estimates (U.S. Census).
4. Adult asthma estimates are for those 18 years and older and
represent the estimated number of people who had asthma
during 2011 based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to county
population estimates (U.S. Census).
5. COPD estimates are for adults 18 and over who had ever been
diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which
includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, based on state rates
(BRFSS) applied to county population estimates (U.S. Census).
6. Cardiovascular disease estimates are for adults 18 and over who
have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on state rates
(BRFSS) applied to county population estimates (U.S. Census).
CV disease includes coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke,
and heart attack.
7. Diabetes estimates are for adults 18 and over who have been
diagnosed within their lifetime based on state rates (BRFSS)
applied to county population estimates (U.S. Census).
8. Poverty estimates include all ages and come from the U.S.
Census Bureaus Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates
program. The estimates are derived from a model using estimates
of income or poverty from the Annual Social and Economic
Supplement and the Current Population Survey, 2011.
9. Adding across rows does not produce valid estimates. Adding
the disease categories (asthma, COPD, etc.) will double-count
people who have been diagnosed with more than one disease.
Notes for all state grades tables.
1. Not all counties have monitors for either ozone or particle
pollution. If a county does not have a monitor, that countys name
is not on the list in these tables. The decision about monitors
in the county is made by the state and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, not by the American Lung Association.
2. INC (Incomplete) indicates that monitoring is underway for that
pollutant in that county, but that the data are incomplete for
all three years. Those counties are not graded or received an
Incomplete.
3. DNC (Data Not Collected) indicates that data on that particular
pollutant is not collected in that county.
4. The Weighted Average (Wgt. Avg.) was derived by adding
the three years of individual level data (2009-2011), multiplying
the sums of each level by the assigned standard weights (i.e.
1=orange, 1.5=red, 2.0=purple and 2.5=maroon) and calculating
the average. Grades are assigned based on the weighted
averages as follows: A=0.0, B=0.3-0.9, C=1.0-2.0, D=2.1-3.2,
F=3.3+.
5. The Design Value is the calculated concentration of a pollutant
based on the form of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard,
and is used by EPA to determine whether the air quality in a
county meets the standard. The Design Values are those released
with the December 14, 2012 announcement of the revised
NAAQS at http://www.epa.gov/pm/2012/20092011table.pdf and
incorporates select design values downloaded at http://www.epa.
gov/airtrends/pdfs/PM25_DesignValues_20092011_Final_%20
07_30_12.xlsx. The numbers refer to micrograms per cubic meter,
or g/m
3
.
6. The annual average National Ambient Air Quality Standard for
PM
2.5
is 12 g/m
3
as of December 14, 2012. Counties with design
values of 12 g/m
3
or lower received a grade of Pass. Counties
with design values of 12.1 g/m
3
or higher received a grade of
Fail.

About the American Lung Association
Now in its second century, the American Lung Association is the leading organization working to
save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. With your generous support, the
American Lung Association is Fighting for Air through research, education and advocacy.
For more information about the American Lung Association, a holder of the Better Business
Bureau Wise Giving Guide Seal, or to support the work it does, call 1-800-LUNGUSA
(1-800-586-4872) or visit www.lung.org.
We will breathe easier when the air in every
American community is clean and healthy.
We will breathe easier when people are free from the addictive
grip of tobacco and the debilitating effects of lung disease.
We will breathe easier when the air in our public spaces and
workplaces is clear of secondhand smoke.
We will breathe easier when children no longer
battle airborne poisons or fear an asthma attack.
Until then, we are ghting for air.
