America's Most Polluted Cities, 2011 - Yahoo! Real Estate
Have you been helping protect clean air and water? I'm talking to you Los Angeles.
Number two worst city in America, one of the places"...where air pollution levels are often dangerous to breathe."
Maybe a few MORE should sign those petitions and letters to the EPA etc. when they see smog in LA and think about their loved ones, growing older, cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, their kids' lungs, etc.
