and the e-cards; and Carrie Martin, Mary Havell, Gregg Tubbs
and Mike Townsend who coordinated internal and external
communications and media outreach.
In the nationwide American Lung Association: All Lung
Association eld oces reviewed and commented on the data
for their states. Hard-working sta across the nation went out
of their way to ensure that their state and local air directors
were in the loop.
Outside the American Lung Association: Allen S. Lefohn
of A.S.L. and Associates, who compiled the data; Deborah
Shprentz, who researched and reviewed the science; Beaconre
Consulting, who made enhancements to the website features;

version; Randy Krum of InfoNewt, LLC, who created the
online infographics; and Cindy Wright of CJW Associates,
who developed marketing and eld materials.
Great appreciation goes to the National Association of Clean
Air Administrators, who along with their Executive Director
Bill Becker, strove to make this report better through their
comments, review and concerns. Many of their members
reviewed and commented on the individual state data presented
and the methodology to help make this report more
accurate. We appreciate them as our partners in the ght
against air pollution. is report should in no way be con-
strued as a comment on the work they do.
A key partner in this work is the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. e professional sta of the Agency has long been
dedicated to the ght for clean air.

Figure 1. Since 1990, the air we breathe has gotten much cleaner, as shown on this chart. That progress comes thanks
to the Clean Air Act. Even as the economy continues to recover from the recession, emissions targeted by the tools
in the Clean Air Act continue to drop. (Source: U.S. EPA, Our Nations Air: Status and Trends Through 2010. February

T
hanks to the Clean Air Act, weve made great progress
in cleaning up air pollution from across the U.S. e
State of the Air 2012 shows that the air quality in many
places has improved, but that over 127 million people41
percent of the nationstill suer pollution levels that are too
oen dangerous to breathe. Unhealthy air remains a threat to
the lives and health of millions of people in the United States,
despite great progress. Air pollution lingers as a widespread
and dangerous reality even as some seek to weaken the Clean
Air Act, the public health law that has driven the cuts in pollu-
tion since 1970.
e State of the Air 2012 report looks at levels of ozone and
particle pollution found
in ocial monitoring
sites across the United
States in 2008, 2009,
and 2010. e report
uses the most current
quality-assured nation-
wide data available for
these analyses.
For particle pollution,
the report examines
ne particulate matter
(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 calculated and reported by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For compar-
ison, the State of the Air 2011 report covered data from 2007,
2008 and 2009.

the previous page shows that since 1990, the air has gotten
cleaner while the population, the economy, energy use and

Ozone
Twenty two of the 25 cities with the most
ozone pollution improved their air quality
over the past years report. More than half
of the countrys most smog-polluted cities experienced their
best year yet. However, people living there are still forced to
breathe air that reaches dangerous levels.
Los Angeles, CA remained the city with the worst ozone
pollution problem, but reported its fewest unhealthy ozone
days since the State of the Air reports began. Of the 25 met-
ropolitan areas most polluted by ozone, eighteen reported
the fewest unhealthy ozone days

states.
Year-round
Particle Pollution
e State of the Air 2012
nds continued progress in
cutting year-round particle
pollution, compared to the
2011 report. 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.
All but three cities with the most year-round particle pollution
improved over the previous report.

Philadelphia, PA, Fairbanks,
AK, and Columbus, GA each had worse average year-round
levels in 2008-2010 than in 20072009. Bakerseld, CA,
remained the city with the highest year-round average levels.
Improving over the previous report were these 24 metropolitan
areas: Bakerseld, CA; Hanford, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Visalia,
CA; Fresno, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Cincinnati, OH; Louisville, KY;
St. Louis, MO; Philadelphia, PA; Birmingham, AL; Weirton-
Steubenville, WV-OH; Indianapolis, IN; Cleveland, OH;
Dayton, OH; Charleston, WV; Huntington, WV; Parkersburg,
WV; Wheeling, WV; Houston, TX; Atlanta, GA; Davenport,
IA; Fairmont, WV; and Hagerstown, MD.
Four cities moved to the list of the most polluted cities this
year despite having improved annual particle average levels
because other cities made greater improvements. ose cities
included Wheeling, WV; Atlanta, GA; Fairmont, WV; and
Davenport, IA.
Six cities that had previously been ranked among the most
polluted improved enough to fall out of the list: Detroit, MI;
New York, NY; Lancaster, PA; York, PA; Modesto, CA; and
Knoxville, TN. is report marks the rst time Detroit and
York have been o this list entirely.
Twenty of these cities actually had average year-round par-
ticle pollution below the ocial safe level, the EPA-adopted

national air quality standard. However, that standard is out
of date. e American Lung Association and other public
health and medical groups have long supported a much more
protective national air quality standard for particle pollution.
e Lung Association has taken legal action to require EPA to
update the particle pollution standards.
Short-term
Particle Pollution
Among the 26 cities with the
worst short-term levels of
particle pollution, thirteen
cities improved in 2008-
2010: that is, they had fewer unhealthy days or lower daily
levels. In addition, nine cities that were on this list in previous
reports moved o the list entirely, including one
Birmingham, ALthat had been on since the list began.
Twelve of the cities on the list had more high particle days in
2008-2010 than in the previous report. Although short-term
particle pollution looks at the same type of pollution that the
year-round levels do, this measure focuses on the spikes in
particle levels that can last from hours to days. ose days or
weeks of high levels can be dangerous, even deadly.
In 2008-2010, these thirteen cities improved, cutting their
average number of days with high particle levels: Bakerseld,
CA(still ranked most polluted); Fresno, CA; Pittsburgh, PA;
Salt Lake City, UT; Provo, UT; Visalia, CA; Eugene-Springeld,
OR; Stockton, CA; Chicago, IL; San Diego, CA; Sacramento,
CA; Davenport, IA; Philadelphia, PA. Nine previously ranked
cities had improved enough to drop o the most polluted list
this year: Birmingham, AL; Louisville, KY; Phoenix, AZ; San
Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA; Wheeling, WV; Seattle-
Tacoma, WA; Macon, GA; Portland, OR; and Madison, WI.
Four cities had their lowest average yet, despite still being
among the 25 most polluted: Pittsburgh, PA; Visalia, CA;
Philadelphia, PA; and San Diego, CA.
Five cities were never ranked on this list before but moving to
this list because so many other cities had fewer unhealthy air
days: Las Cruces, NM; Harrisburg, PA; Washington, DC-Balti-
more, MD; South Bend, IN; and Yakima, WA. e remaining cities
on the list had more days or higher daily levels than in the last
report: Hanford, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Modesto, CA; Logan, UT;
Milwaukee, WI; Fairbanks, AK; Merced, CA; and Green Bay, WI.
Cleanest

with the worst short-term
levels of particle pollution
in 2008-2010.
People At Risk
Looking at the nation as a whole,
the American Lung Association
State of the Air 2012 nds
I More than 4 in 10 people (41%) in the United States live
in counties that have unhealthful levels of either ozone
or particle pollution.
Over 127.2 million Americans live in the 235 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.
I Nearly 4 in 10 people in the United States (38.5%) live in
areas with unhealthful levels of ozone.
Counties that were graded F for ozone levels have a com-
bined population of almost 116.7 million. ese people
live in the 195 counties where the monitored air quality
places them at risk for decreased lung function, respiratory
infection, lung inammation and aggravation of respiratory
illness. 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.
I Nearly one in six (16.1%) of people in the United States
live in an area with unhealthful short-term levels of par-
ticle pollution.
Nearly 50 million Americans live in 66 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 emergen-
cy-room visits for asthma and cardiovascular disease, and
most importantly, can increase the risk of early death.
I Nearly 6.4 million people (2.1%) 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.
I Over 5.7 million people (1.9%) in the United States live
in six 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.
I People with AsthmaNearly 2.5 million children and over
7.4 million adults with asthma live in parts of the United
States with very high levels of ozone. Over 3.1 million adults
and over 940,000 children with asthma live in areas with
high levels of short-term particle pollution. Over 382,000
adults and over 125,000 children with asthma live in coun-
ties with unhealthful levels of year-round particle pollution.
I Older and YoungerOver 13.7 million adults age 65 and
over and nearly 29 million children age 18 and under live
in counties with unhealthful ozone levels. Over 5.6 million
seniors and over 12.5 million children live in counties with
unhealthful short-term levels of particle pollution. Over
765,000 seniors and over 1.7 million children live in coun-
ties with unhealthful levels of year-round particle pollution.
I Chronic Bronchitis and EmphysemaOver 3.7 million
people with chronic bronchitis and nearly 1.6 million with
emphysema live in counties with unhealthful ozone levels.
Over 1.5 million people with chronic bronchitis and over
652,000 with emphysema live in counties with unhealthful
levels of short-term particle pollution. Over 196,000 people
with chronic bronchitis and more than 84,000 with emphy-
sema live in counties with unhealthful year-round levels of
particle pollution.
THE STATE OF THE AI R 2012
Over 5.7 million
people in the US live in
counties where the outdoor
air failed all three tests.
I Cardiovascular DiseaseOver 11.6 million people with
cardiovascular diseases live in counties with unhealthful lev-
els of short-term particle pollution; nearly 1.5 million live in
counties with unhealthful levels of year-round particle pollu-
tion. Cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease,
heart attacks, strokes, hypertension and angina pectoris.
I DiabetesOver 3.1 million people with diabetes live in
counties with unhealthful levels of short-term particle pol-
lution; over 409,000 live in counties with unhealthful levels
of year-round particle pollution. Research indicates that
because diabetics are already at higher risk of cardiovascular
disease, they may face increased risk due to the impact of
particle pollution on their cardiovascular systems.
I PovertyOver 16.9 million people with incomes meeting
the federal poverty denition live in counties with unhealth-
ful levels of ozone. Over 7.9 million people in poverty live in
counties with unhealthful levels of short-term particle pol-
lution, and over 1.1 million live in counties with unhealthful
year-round levels of particle pollution. 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 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.
I 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 40 years ago. e Act requires that
the EPA and each state take steps to clean up the air. Some
members of Congress are proposing changes to the Clean
Air Act that could dismantle progress made in the last 40
years. e nation must keep that law strong to continue to
protect public health.
I Clean up dirty power plants. Over 400 coal-red power
plants in over 40 states are among the largest contributors to
particulate pollution, ozone, mercury, and global warming.
eir pollution blows across state lines into states hundreds
of miles away. ey produce 84 known hazardous air pollut-
ants, 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. In 2011, EPA issued the nal rules that will cut the
emissions that create ozone and particle pollution and, for
the rst time, set national limits on the toxic pollutants they
can emit. However, some have challenged these standards in
the courts. e Lung Association has taken legal steps to de-
fend EPAs eorts. Congress needs to support EPAs actions
to clean these plants up.
I Clean up industrial, commercial and institutional boilers
and incinerators. Boilers provide power and fuel processes
for industry, commercial facilities and institutions. Similar
to power plants, but smaller, boilers are also more numer-
ous: there are 1.5 million of them. Many produce toxic air
emissions, including the same toxic emissions that power
plants produce. EPA needs to adopt strong nal standards to
limit emissions from these boilers.
I Clean up the existing eet of dirty diesel vehicles and
heavy equipment. Rules EPA put in eect over the past
several years mean that new diesel vehicles and equip-
ment 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 neighbor-
hoods. e good news is that aordable technology exists to
cut emissions by 90 percent. Congress needs to fund EPAs
diesel cleanup (retrot) program. Congress should also
require that clean diesel equipment be used in federally-
funded construction programs.
I Strengthen the particle pollution standards. In 2006, EPA
failed to strengthen the annual standard for ne particles,
The nation must
keep the
Clean Air
Act strong
to protect public health.
despite the near unanimous recommendation by their of-
cial science advisors. EPA tightened the 24-hour standard,
though not to the level the Lung Association and other
public health groups recommended. Last year, the Lung
Association and its partners issued Sick of Soot, a report
that showed that EPA can save thousands of lives each year
by dramatically strengthening the annual average and the
24-hour standards. However, EPA ignored its own deadlines
to complete the review, failing to complete steps essential to
protecting public health. e Lung Association led legal
action against EPA to require them to follow the law.
I Clean up harmful emissions from tailpipes. 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. Science shows
that 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. Cleaner cars will help reduce this impact for all, but
especially those who live closest to the trac.
What You
Can Do
Individual citizens can do a great
deal to help reduce air pollution
outdoors as well. Simple but
eective ways include
I Send a message to Congress: Dont block the power plant
mercury and air toxic standards. Send a message to your
Senators urging them to support cleaner, healthier air and
oppose measures to block or delay the cleanup of hazardous
air pollutants from coal-red power plants.
I Share your story. Do you or any member of your family
have a personal reason to want healthier, cleaner air? Let us
know how healthy air aects you.
I Drive less. Combine trips, walk, bike, carpool or vanpool,
and use buses, subways or other alternatives to driving. Ve-
hicle emissions are a major source of air pollution. Support
community plans that provide ways to get around that dont
require a car, such as more sidewalks, bike trails and transit
systems.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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 l8 and under 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 2C1C 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 2C1C based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Chronic bronchitis estimates are for adults 1o and over who had been diagnosed in 2C1C, based on national rates (NHIS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
7. Emphysema estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on national rates (NHIS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Adding across rows does not produce valid estimates, e.g., summing pediatric and adult asthma and,or emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
9. CV disease is cardiovascular disease and estimates are based on National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) estimates of cardiovascular disease applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
1C. 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. 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 l8 and under 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 2C1C 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
o. Chronic bronchitis estimates are for adults 1o and over who had been diagnosed in 2C1C, based on national rates
(NHIS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
7. Emphysema estimates are for adults 1o and over who have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on national
rates (NHIS) applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
o. Adding across rows does not produce valid estimates, e.g., summing pediatric and adult asthma and,or emphysema
and chronic bronchitis.
9. CV disease estimates are based on National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) estimates of cardiovascular
disease applied to population estimates (U.S. Census).
1C. 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).
12. The Weighted Average was derived by counting the number of days in each unhealthful range (orange, red, purple,
maroon) in each year (2CCo-2C1C), 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.
1. 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.
1C. The Weighted Average was derived by counting the number of days in each unhealthful range (orange, red, purple) in each year (2CCo-2C1C), 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.
11. 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=.+.

Health Eects of Ozone and Particle Pollution
O
zone and particle pollution are the most widespread
air pollutantsand among the most dangerous. Re-
cent research has revealed new insights into how they
can harm the bodyincluding taking the lives of infants and
altering the lungs of children. All in all, the evidence shows
that the risks are greater than we once thought.
Recent ndings provide more evidence about the health im-
pacts of these pollutants:
I A major review of particle pollution and other air pollutants
concluded that many cause heart attacks, even when people
inhale elevated levels for as little as one week.
1
is review
looked at evidence from 177 studies and found that particle
pollution (both ne and coarse), carbon monoxide, nitro-
gen oxides, and sulfur dioxide all increased the risk of heart
attack.
I Particle pollution that lasts for just a short while may be
causing strokes, even at levels considered safe, according to
a study of Boston area patients.
2
In particular, researchers
found that breathing levels of trac-related particles were
linked to increased risk of stroke within 12 to 14 hours of
breathing them.
I Up to 35,700 premature deaths can be prevented in the
United States every year if the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) strengthens the health standards for particle
pollutionalso known as sootaccording to a report, Sick
of Soot: How the EPA Can Save Lives by Cleaning Up Fine
Particle Pollution, released in November by the American
Lung Association, Clean Air Task Force and Earthjustice.
at report summarized the ndings of an in-depth look at
how cleaning up the particles could have powerful, life-
saving benets.
3
I Good news: Reducing air pollution has extended life expec-
tancy. anks to a drop in particle pollution between 1980
and 2000, life expectancy in 51 U.S. cities increased by ve
months on average, according to a 2009 analysis.
4

I Growing evidence shows that diabetics face a greater risk
from air pollution than once believed. Several studies found
increased risk of several factors associated with cardiovas-
cular risks in people with diabetes.
5
Some new research with
animals indicates that ne particle pollution may impact
insulin resistance and other factors.
6

I More people may be vulnerable to air pollution than previ-
ously understood. Researchers studying people who had
received kidney transplants found that long-term exposure
to ozone pollution increased their risk of fatal coronary
heart disease.
7

I Lower levels of ozone and particle pollution pose bigger
threats. A Canadian study showed that particle pollution
levels well below those considered safe in the U.S. for these
pollutants caused premature death.
8
An earlier study had
found higher risk of asthma attacks and emergency room
visits and hospital admissions for children with asthma.
9

Another study found that low levels of these pollutants
increased the risk of hospital treatment for pneumonia and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
10

I Ozone pollution can shorten life, a conclusion conrmed by
a 2008 scientic review by the National Research Council.
11
Evidence warns that some segments of the population may
face higher risks from dying prematurely because of ozone
pollution, including communities with high unemploy-
ment or high public transit use and large African-American
populations.
12
I Could particulate matter cause lung cancer in never-smokers?
at question is getting closer to being answered with a
strong yes aer researchers looked at the records of 1.2
million volunteers which found that levels of ne particles
measured across the nation in the past few decades are
linked to small, but measurable increases in lung cancer in
people who never smoked.
13

I Research is warning that obesity may place people at higher
risk from particle pollution. Some studies link particle pol-
lution to increases in measurable reactions in the body that
signal harm to health.
14
e increase in the prevalence of
obesity in the nation may mean that more people are at risk.
I Busy highways are high risk zones. Not only may they
worsen diseases, but some evidence warns that years of
breathing the pollution near busy roads may increase the
risk of developing chronic diseases.
O A growing body of evidence suggests breathing
pollution from heavy trac may cause new cases of
asthma in children.
15

O Emerging research has found particle pollution
associated with increasing the risk of new cases
of three chronic diseases in adults: adult-onset
asthma,
16
diabetes,
17
and COPD, especially in people
who already have asthma or diabetes.
18

O Research had already connected pollution from
heavy highway trac to higher risks for heart at-
tack, allergies, premature births and the death of
infants around the time they are born.
19
Evidence
of the impact of trac pollution, even in a city with
generally cleaner air, expanded the concern over
the health eects of chronic exposure to exhaust
from heavy trac.
20
Two types of air pollution dominate the problem in the U.S.:
ozone and particle pollution. ey 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, ozone and particle pollution are the most widespread
pollutants.
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 de-
cades. Hundreds of research studies 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 an extremely reactive gas molecule composed
of three oxygen atoms. It is the primary ingredient of smog air
pollution and is very harmful to breathe. Ozone attacks lung
tissue by reacting chemically with it.
e ozone layer found high in the upper atmosphere (the
stratosphere) shields us from much of the suns ultraviolet ra-
diation. However, ozone air pollution at ground level where we
can breathe it (in the troposphere) is harmful. It causes serious
health problems.
Where Does Ozone Come From?
What you see coming out of the tailpipe on a car or a truck
isnt ozone, but the raw ingredients for making ozone. Ozone
is formed by chemical reactions in the atmosphere from two
raw gases that do come out of tailpipes, smokestacks and many
other sources. ese essential raw ingredients for ozone are
nitrogen oxides (NO
X
) and hydrocarbons, also called volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). ey are produced primarily
when fossil fuels like gasoline, oil or coal are burned or when
some chemicals, like solvents, evaporate.
When NO
X
and VOCs come in contact with both heat and
sunlight, they combine and form ozone smog. NO
X
is emit-
ted from power plants, motor vehicles and other sources of
high-heat combustion. VOCs are emitted from motor vehicles,
chemical plants, reneries, factories, gas stations, paint and
other sources. e formula for ozone is simple, and like any
HEALTH EFFECTS OF OZONE AND PARTI CLE POLLUTI ON
AMERI CAN LUNG ASSOCI ATI ON STATE OF THE AI R 2012 29 HEALTH EFFECTS OF OZONE AND PARTI CLE POLLUTI ON
formula, the ingredients must all be present and in the right
proportions to make the nal product.
NO
x
OZONE VOCs
You may have wondered why ozone action day warnings are
sometimes followed by recommendations to avoid activities
such as mowing your lawn or relling your gas tank during
daylight hours. Lawn mower exhaust and gasoline vapors are
VOCs that could turn into ozone in the heat and sun. Take
away the sunlight and ozone doesnt form, so relling your
gas tank aer dark is better on high ozone days. Since we cant
control sunlight and heat, we must reduce the chemical raw
ingredients if we want to reduce ozone.
Who is at risk from breathing ozone?
Five groups of people are especially vulnerable to the eects of
breathing ozone:
I children and teens;
I anyone 65 and older;
I people who work or exercise outdoors;
I people with existing lung diseases, such as asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (also known as
COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis);
and
I responders who are otherwise healthy but for some reason
react more strongly to ozone.
21
e impact on your health can depend on many factors, how-
ever. For example, the risks would be greater if ozone levels
are higher, if you are breathing faster because youre working
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.
22

How Ozone Pollution Harms Your Health
Breathing ozone can shorten your life. Two early studies
published in 2004 found strong evidence of the deadly impact
of ozone in cities across the U.S. and in Europe. Even on days
when ozone levels were low, the researchers found that the risk
of premature death increased with higher levels of ozone. ey
estimated that over 3,700 deaths annually in the U.S. could be
attributed to a 10-parts-per-billion increase in ozone levels.
23

Another study, published the same week, looked at 23 Euro-
pean cities and found similar eects on mortality from short-
term exposure to ozone.
24

Conrmation came in the summer of 2005. ree groups of
researchers working independently reviewed and analyzed the
research around deaths associated with short-term exposures
to ozone. e three teamsat Harvard, Johns Hopkins and
New York Universityused dierent approaches but all came
to similar conclusions. All three studies reported a small but
robust association between daily ozone levels and increased
deaths.
25
Writing a commentary on these reviews, David Bates,
MD, explained how these premature deaths could occur:
Ozone is capable of causing inammation in
the lung at lower concentrations than any other
gas. Such an eect would be a hazard to anyone
with heart failure and pulmonary congestion,
and would worsen the function of anyone with
advanced lung disease.
26

In 2008 a committee of the National Research Council, a
division of the National Academy of Sciences, reviewed the
evidence again and concluded that short-term exposure to
ambient ozone is likely to contribute to premature deaths.
ey recommended that preventing early death be included in
any future estimates of the benets of reducing ozone.
27
New research has begun to identify which groups face higher
risk of death from ozone. A study published in 2010 examined
records from ten cities in Italy and found women, diabetics
and older adults to have a higher risk of premature death from
high ozone.
28
Ozone at levels currently in the U.S. causes immediate health
problems. Many areas in the United States produce enough
ground-level ozone during the summer months to cause health
problems that can be felt right away. Immediate problemsin
addition to increased risk of premature deathinclude:
I shortness of breath;
I chest pain when inhaling;
I wheezing and coughing;
I asthma attacks;
I increased susceptibility to respiratory infections;
I increased susceptibility to pulmonary inammation; and
I 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.
29
Breathing ozone for longer periods can alter the lungs ability
to function. Two studies published in 2005 explored ozones
ability to reduce the lungs ability to work eciently, a term
called lung function. Each study looked at otherwise healthy
groups who were exposed to ozone for long periods: outdoor
postal workers in Taiwan and college freshmen who were
lifelong residents of Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay area.
Both studies found that the long exposure to elevated ozone
levels had decreased their lung function.
30
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.
31
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.
32

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 lon-
ger 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.
33
New York researchers looking at hospital records for
childrens 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.
34
California researchers digging
into data from their long-term Southern California Childrens
Health Study found that some children with certain genes were
more likely to develop asthma as adolescents in response to the
variations in ozone levels in their communities.
35
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.
36

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 EPA currently considers safe. Research-
ers found that ozone at those lower levels was associated with
deaths from cardiovascular disease, strokes, and respiratory
causes.
37

Particle
Pollution
Ever look at dirty truck exhaust?
e dirty, smoky part of that stream
of exhaust is made of particle pollu-
tion. 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
particle pollution is simple. First of all, the 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.
You may not be able to tell when youre breathing particle pol-
lution. Yet it is so dangerous it can shorten your life.
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 be-
tween 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 diameter
38
and are small enough to pass through the
lung tissue into the blood stream, circulating like the oxygen
molecules themselves. No matter what the size, particles can be
harmful to your health.
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 com-
pletely liquid; some are solids suspended in liquids. As the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency puts it, particles are really a
mixture of mixtures.
39
e mixtures dier between the eastern
and western United States and in dierent times of the year.
For example, the Midwest, 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 proportion of the unhealthful mix in the
winter in the Northeast, Southern California, the Northwest,
and North Central U.S.
40
Who Is at Risk?
Anyone who lives where particle pollution levels are high is at
risk (you can take a look at levels in your state in this report).
Some people face higher risk, however. People at the greatest
risk from particle pollution exposure include:
I Anyone with lung disease such as asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes
chronic bronchitis and emphysema;
I Anyone with heart disease or diabetes
41
;
I Anyone over 65;
I Infants, children and teens;
I People with low incomes; and
I People who work or are active outdoors.
42

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.
43
Trac-related air pollution
was implicated in two studies. A German study of nondiabetic
women found that new cases of diabetes were more likely as
levels of trac-related pollution and particle pollution in-
creased.
44
A similar nding of an increased risk for diabetes
in women who lived near roadways came in a large study of
nurses and health professionals, although that study did not
nd a strong association with levels of particle pollution.
45
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.
46

Good news came in 2009 from researchers who looked at the
impact of the drop in year-round levels of particle pollution
between 1980 and 2000 in 51 U.S. cities. anks to reduc-
tions in particle pollution people living in these cities had ve
months added to their life expectancy on average.
47
is study
adds to the growing research that cleaning up air pollution
improves life and health. Other researchers estimated that
reductions in air pollution can be expected to produce rapid
improvements in public health, with fewer deaths occurring
within the rst two years aer reductions.
48
Researchers are exploring possible dierences in health ef-
fects of the three sizes of particles and particles from dierent
sources, such as diesel particles from trucks and buses or sul-
fates from coal-red power plants. So far, the evidence remains
clear that all particles from all sources are dangerous.
49

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.
50

Researchers from Harvard University recently tripled the esti-
mated risk of premature death following a review of the newer
evidence from ne particle monitors (PM
2.5
) in 27 U.S. cities.
51

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:
I death from respiratory and cardiovascular causes, including
strokes;
52, 53, 54, 55
I increased mortality in infants and young children;
56
I increased numbers of heart attacks, especially among the
elderly and in people with heart conditions;
57
I inammation of lung tissue in young, healthy adults;
58
I increased hospitalization for cardiovascular disease, includ-
ing strokes and congestive heart failure;
59, 60, 61
I increased emergency room visits for patients suering from
acute respiratory ailments;
62
I increased hospitalization for asthma among children;
63, 64, 65
and
I increased severity of asthma attacks in children.
66
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.
67
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.
68
Chronic exposure to particle pollution can
shorten life by one to three years.
69
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:
I increased hospitalization for asthma attacks for children liv-
ing near roads with heavy truck or trailer trac;
70, 71
I slowed lung function growth in children and teenagers;
72, 73
I signicant damage to the small airways of the lungs;
74
I increased risk of dying from lung cancer;
75
and
I increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
76
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.
77
e Environmental Protection Agency released the most
thorough review of the current research on particle pollution
in December 2009.
78
e Agency had engaged a panel of expert
scientists, the Clean Air Scientic Advisory Committee, to
help them assess the evidence, in particular research published
between 2002 and May 2009. EPA concluded that particle pol-
lution caused multiple, serious threats to health. eir ndings
are highlighted in the box below.
EPA Concludes Fine Particle Pollution Poses
Serious Health Threats
I Causes early death (both short-term and long-term
exposure)
I Causes cardiovascular harm (e.g. heart attacks, strokes,
heart disease, congestive heart failure)
I Likely to cause respiratory harm (e.g. worsened asthma,
worsened COPD, inammation)
I May cause cancer
I May cause reproductive and developmental harm
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Science Assessment for
Particulate Matter, December 2009. EPA 600/R-08/139F.
Where Does Particle Pollution Come From?
Particle pollution is produced through two separate processes
mechanical 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.
79
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.
80
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 chemi-
cal 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 com-
pounds with water and other compounds in the atmosphere.
81

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 residen-
tial 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
children become adults.
82
In addition, the bodys defenses that
help adults ght o infections are still developing in young
bodies.
83
Children have more respiratory infections than
adults, which also seems to increase their susceptibility to air
pollution.
84
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.
85

In 2004, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a special
statement on the dangers of outdoor air pollution on childrens
health, pointing out the special dierences for children.
86
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.
87
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.
88
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.
89
Cleaning Up Pollution Can Reduce
Risk to Children
ere is also real-world evidence that reducing air pollution
can help protect children. Two studies published in 2005 added
more weight to the argument.
Changes in air pollution from the reunication of Germany
proved a real-life laboratory. Both East and West Germany had
dierent levels and sources of particles. Outdoor particle levels
were much higher in East Germany, where they came from
factories and homes. West Germany had higher concentrations
of trac-generated particles. Aer reunication, emissions
from the factories and homes dropped, but trac increased.
A German study explored the impact on the lungs of six-year
olds from both East and West Germany. Total lung capacity
improved with the lower particle levels. However, for those
children living near busy roads, the increased pollution from
the increased trac kept them from beneting from the overall
cleaner air.
90
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.
91
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,
92
including
a workshop the American Lung Association held in 2001 that
focused on urban air pollution and health inequities.
93

Many studies have looked at dierences in the impact on pre-
mature death. Results have varied widely, particularly for ef-
fects between racial groups. Some studies have found no dier-
ences among races,
94
while others found greater responsiveness
for Whites and Hispanics, but not African-Americans,
95
or
for African-Americans but not other races or ethnic groups.
96

Other researchers have found greater risk for African-Ameri-
cans from air toxics, including those pollutants that also come
from trac sources.
97

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.
98
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.
99
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.
100
However, two other recent studies in France have
found no association with lower income and asthma attacks.
101

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.
102
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. Growing
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.
103

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.
104
Studies have found increased
risk of premature death from living near a major highway or an
urban road.
105
Another study found an increase in risk of heart
attacks from being in trac, whether driving or taking public
transportation.
106
Urban women in a Boston study experienced
decreased lung function associated with trac-related pollu-
tion.
107
How to Protect Yourself from Ozone, Particle
Pollution
To minimize your exposure to ozone and particle pollution:
I Pay attention to forecasts for high air pollution days to know
when to take precautions;
I Avoid exercising near high-trac areas;
I Avoid exercising outdoors when pollution levels are high, or
substitute an activity that requires less exertion;
I Do not let anyone smoke indoors and support measures to
make all places smokefree; and
I 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.

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
information and the 24-hour averaged PM
2.5
concentration
information for the 3-year period for 20082010 for each
monitoring site.
Design values for the annual PM
2.5
concentrations by county
for the period 20082010 were downloaded on September 24,
2011 from EPAs website at http://www.epa.gov/air/airtrends/
values.html.
Ozone Data Analysis
e 2008, 2009, and 2010 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 28, 2011. e data were consid-
ered for a 3-year period for the same reason that EPA uses
three years of data to determine compliance with the ozone
standard: to prevent a situation in any single year, where
anomalies of weather or other factors create air pollution
levels, which inaccurately reect the normal conditions. e
highest 8-hour daily maximum concentration in each county
for 2008, 2009, and 2010, 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. EPAs Air Quality
Index reects the 0.075 ppm standard. A.S.L. & Associates
prepared 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 EPA based on the EPA Air Quality
Index:
8-hour Ozone
Concentration Air Quality Index Levels
0.000 0.059 ppm I Good (Green)
0.060 0.075 ppm I Moderate (Yellow)
0.076 0.095 ppm I Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
(Orange)
0.096 0.115 ppm I Unhealthy (Red)
0.116 0.374 ppm I Very Unhealthy (Purple)
>0.374 ppm I 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.
AMERI CAN LUNG ASSOCI ATI ON STATE OF THE AI R 2012 41 METHODOLOGY
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 2008, 2009, and
2010 with monitoring information. e 24-hour PM
2.5
data
were downloaded on August 1, 2011. In addition, hourly aver-
aged PM
2.5
concentration data were characterized into 24-hour
average PM
2.5
values by the EPA and provided to A.S.L. &
Associates. 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 EPA based on the EPA Air
Quality Index, adjusted by the American Lung Association as
discussed below:
24-hour PM

Air Quality
Concentration Index Levels
0.0 g/m

to 15.4 g/m

I Good (Green)
15.5 g/m

3
to 250.4 g/m
3
I Very Unhealthy
(Purple)
greater than or equal to 250.5 g/m
3
I Hazardous (Maroon)
In 2006, the EPA revised the 24-hour National Ambient Air
Quality standard for PM2.5, changing the standard to 35 g/m
3

from 65 g/m
3
. As of December 2011, the EPA had not
announced changes to the Air Quality Index based on that stan-
dard. e Lung Association adjusted the level of the category
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups to reect the 2006 standard,
making that category range from 35.1 g/m
3
to 65.4 g/m
3
.
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 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.
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
.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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
allow 2 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 1 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 includ-
ing 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 0 red days, it would earn a weighted average
of 3.0 and a D grade. However, another county which had only
8 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 EPA uses to determine violations of both the ozone and the
24-hour PM
2.5
standards. EPA determines whether a county
violates the standard based on the 4
th
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. Consequently,
some counties will receive grades of F in this report, showing
repeated instances of unhealthy air, while still meeting EPAs
2008 ozone standard. e American Lung Associations posi-
tion 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 15 g/m
3
. Counties that EPA listed
as being at or below 15.0 g/m
3
were given grades of Pass.
Counties EPA listed as being at or above 15.1 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 2009 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. and Associates. Questions about the
annual PM design values were referred to Mr. Schmidt of EPA,
who reviewed and had nal decision on those determinations.
e American Lung Association wishes to express its contin-
ued 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 primary 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 2010 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 Bronchitis, Emphysema and Cardiovascular Dis-
ease Estimates. In 2010, the National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) estimated the nationwide annual prevalence of diag-
nosed chronic bronchitis at 9.9 million, the nationwide lifetime
prevalence of diagnosed emphysema at 4.3 million, and the
nationwide lifetime prevalence of diagnosed cardiovascular
METHODOLOGY
disease at 74.7 million. Estimates for chronic bronchitis and
emphysema should not be combined as they represent dif-
ferent types of prevalence estimates. Cardiovascular disease
includes coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke and heart
failure.
Local area prevalence of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and
cardiovascular disease are estimated by applying age-specic
national prevalence rates from the 2010 NHIS to age-specic
county-level resident populations obtained from the U.S.
Census Bureau web site. Prevalence estimates for chronic
bronchitis, emphysema, and cardiovascular disease are calcu-
lated for those aged 18-44 years, 45-64 years and 65 years and
older.
Asthma and Diabetes. In 2010, the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey indicated that approxi-
mately 8.6 percent of adults residing in the United States and
9.1 percent of children from twenty-nine states and Wash-
ington, D.C. reported currently having asthma. e BRFSS
indicated that 9.2 percent of adults in the United States had
ever been diagnosed with diabetes in 2010.
e prevalence estimate for pediatric asthma is calculated
for those younger than 18 years; adult asthma and diabetes is
calculated for those aged 18-44 years, 45-64 years and 65 years
and older. Local area prevalence of pediatric asthma is estimat-
ed by applying the most recent state prevalence rates, or
if none are available, the national rate from the BRFSS to
pediatric county-level resident populations obtained from
the U.S. Census Bureau web site. Pediatric asthma data from
the 2010 BRFSS were available for thirty-two states and
Washington D.C., ve states
1
from 2009, three states
2
from
2008, and one state each
3
for 2007 and 2006. National data was
used for the eight states
4
that had no data available since 2006.
1 California, Delaware, Idaho, New York and Virginia.
2 Maine, New Hampshire, and Ohio.
3 Alaska for 2007 and Minnesota for 2006.
4 Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina,
South Dakota, and Tennessee.
Local area prevalence of adult asthma and diabetes is esti-
mated by applying age-specic state prevalence rates from the
2010 BRFSS to age-specic county-level resident populations
obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau web site.
Limitations of Estimates. Since the statistics presented by
the NHIS, BRFSS and SAIPE are based on a sample, they will
dier (due to random sampling variability) from gures that
would be derived from a complete census or case registry of
people in the U.S. with these diseases. e results are also sub-
ject to reporting, 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 both surveys is that the
information collected represents self-reports of medically di-
agnosed conditions, which may underestimate disease preva-
lence since not all individuals with these conditions have been
properly diagnosed. However, the NHIS is the best available
source that depicts the magnitude of chronic disease on the
national level and the BRFSS is the best available source for
state-specic asthma and diabetes information. e conditions
covered in the survey may vary considerably 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 estimate derived by the NHIS or
state estimates derived by the BRFSS.

State Tables
Notes for all state data tables
1. Total Population is based on 2010 U.S. 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 18 & under 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 2010 based on the state rates (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 2010 based on state rates (BRFSS) applied to county
population estimates (U.S. Census).
5. Chronic bronchitis estimates are for adults 18 and over who had
been diagnosed within 2010 based on national rates (from the
National Health Interview Survey, or NHIS) applied to county
population estimates (U.S. Census).
6. Emphysema estimates are for adults 18 and over who have been
diagnosed within their lifetime based on national rates in 2010
(NHIS) applied to county population estimates (U.S. Census).
7. Cardiovascular disease estimates are for adults 18 and over who
have been diagnosed within their lifetime, based on national
rates in 2010 (NHIS) applied to county population estimates
(U.S. Census). CV disease includes coronary heart disease,
hypertension, stroke, and heart failure.
8. 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).
9. 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, 2010.
10. Adding across rows does not produce valid estimates. Adding
emphysema and chronic bronchitis will double-count people with
both diseases.
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 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 (2008-2010), 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. Design values for the annual PM
2.5

concentrations by county were collected from data previously
summarized by the EPA and were downloaded on September

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 Charity Navigator Four Star Charity
and holder of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Guide Seal, or to support the work it does,
call 1-800-LUNG-USA (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.
