May 1st, 2007

New York City’s is the 10th most ozone polluted city in the nation, according to a report from the American Lung Association (Los Angeles earns the worst ranking). Manhattan also gets a grade of F in the “partical pollution” category. “The increased particle pollution in the East is a particularly troubling trend, because exposure to particle pollution can not only take years off your life, it can threaten your life immediately,” said Terri Weaver of the Association.

To see just how bad it is in your neighborhood, put your zip code into the How’s Your Air finder.
