I was shocked that Spokane made this list because we're in a valley. Most of the winter they're begging us not to light our fireplaces.

its gotten worse over the years.. especially summer months as we live in
a valley,, a cap forms over us and keeps a lid on pollution .. yuck...

And I use a cell phone, drink the water here, and also worked at one of the Army bases in the area where they do testing. A short bit of the movie Outbreak was filmed at this base. LOL.
Have a good day. Hugs, T
And of course we are not on the list for the least ozone air pollution... huuuummm... I wonder if the gas masks we have to wear when we go out side had some thing to do with it... ha ha ha..
Good morning Red how is the world treating you these days?
