The American Lung Association's annual report card rates air quality on three major measures: smog, sooty air days, and annual levels of particle pollution

what's confusing is that, w/regards to particle pollution, san francisco received an ANNUAL grade of 'F', but received a DAILY grade of 'pass.' ...not sure how that works...
here's a useful link to find out what the quality of air is like in your city. -
it said in the article that there are some days when the wind comes in from the ocean and clears up the air in SF, but other days when there is no wind and the pollution just sort of sits there and soots up the place.
So maybe they look at the average to calculate the annual grade. either way, i'm moving to Portland.-

They News have been lying to us all along these Years. The point is that San Francisco have a lot of trap spots and lots of acoustic because of the narrow streets and hills. These people at Muni are a bunch of acoustic assassins shooting us with all kind of disturbing noise since 2001. The SFMTA-Muni Commissions at City Hall needs to be arrested and I am not kidding about that. They are all criminals! Wake up people!!! -
