air quality

As wildfires intensify and smog persists, a new study highlights just how severe California’s air pollution problem has become.

The American Lung Association released its 25th annual State of the Air report last month, and it paints a pretty bleak picture of California.

According to the researchers, Fresno residents could live a year longer than they do now. The average Angeleno would live 8 months longer. In Sacramento, life spans could be increased by a quarter of a year.
