Abstract

The article discusses how climate change is exacerbating air pollution in the U.S., particularly in Western states, despite overall improvements in air quality due to environmental regulations. A report from the American Lung Association (ALA) highlights a significant increase in hazardous pollution days, with Western cities experiencing the worst spikes. While the number of people exposed to unhealthy air has decreased nationally, the report notes that 63.7 million people live in counties with failing grades for daily pollution spikes, the highest in a decade. The article emphasizes the need for stronger emissions restrictions and a transition to clean energy to address both air quality and climate change. [Extracted from the article]
