Los Angeles air quality averages a US AQI or air quality index rating of “moderate.” Monthly averages in 2019 varied from AQI 32 (“good”) in February to AQI 64 (“moderate”) in November. Despite seemingly optimistic ratings, Los Angeles’s air pollution is among the worst in the ...
In cities such as Los Angeles, COVID-19 seems to have played no part in the improvement of air quality. The large fleet of delivery trucks has been plying the roads as usual which proves just what a major source of pollution they are. Looking towards the eastern seaboard, the story is ...
Los Angeles Air Quality Index (AQI) and California Air Pollution | AirVisual Los Angeles air quality averages a US AQI or air quality index rating of "moderate." Monthly averages in 2019 varied from AQI 32 ("good") in February to AQI 64 ("moderate") in November. Despite seemingly optimi...
On a national level, Indianapolis air quality is ranked 53rd (out of 1517 included cities) for worst particle pollution, tied with the air quality of South Pasadena, California. Notoriously polluted Los Angeles has cleaner air, by comparison, with an annual PM2.5 average of 12.7 μg/m3. ...
The top 5 cities with the most year-round particle pollution are: Bakersfield, CA; Visalia, CA; Fresno-Madera-Hanford, CA; Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA; and Fairbanks, AK. Particle pollution can come from wildfires, coal-fired power plants, diesel engines and host of other sources. ...

[1]. However, during the 1940s and 1950s an altogether different type of pollution was observed in the United States. Haagen-Smit identified a mechanism by which air pollutants reacted with the Los Angeles sunlight to produce a noxious photochemical smog [2], and it became clear that the ...
Methods: The relation between AQI and daily mortality was evaluated using case-crossover analyses for four metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA between 2001-2006. AQI was assessed as the maximum AQI, the AQI for individual pollutants...

A study in the same state but a larger city (Los Angeles) indicated that brake and dust particles were in the PM10 range [44]. Speed reduction is expected to be negatively correlated to PM10 due to increased brake and tire abrasion, but this was not observed in this study, or from ...
