We (Were) #1!

Posted on June 1, 2013 | 8 Comments

According to alert reader John Suggs — whose colleague in Pittsburgh sent him the screenshot below — Westport was ranked yesterday as having the worst air quality.

In the entire country.

Greenwich was 2nd.

And they think they’re so hot.

    Must find a way to put a positive spin on this 🙂

    This is crazy. Right? Worse than LA?

    All I can say is thank goodness I spent the day in New York City!

    Dan,
    Does this report tell us why our air is so bad? Is there ANYTHING we could do about it? Who would know?

    Apparently we get some nasty pollution from the plants in Ohio? But anyone who has spent a day in Houston, with the wind out of the south (where the refineries lay) will rebut this claim.

    High pressure system + lots of driving on a holiday weekend = ozone action day. The monitoring station is at Sherwood Island, so it gets the real flavor of I-95 🙂
