Re: 25 Worst Counties in U.S.

[Guest guest]

I just looked at this information and can't believe that Lancaster, PA is

number 13! That's were all the Amish live which is just, about a 45 min.

drive, north from me.

Do you live in one of 25 worst counties in the U.S. for air

pollution? I do. It would be interesting to find out whether there

is more incidence of MCS in these areas. So far they had recently

added diabetes and heart disease.

(I'm posting some of this info with links because some of these things

are buried in article and it might be missed.)

Worst 25 cities. I live in Hamilton County, OH, listed as number 10,

ahead of Cook County (Chicago-#17) and New York county (#20) and have

heart disease, and 3 yrs ago cancerous growth:

That is shocking that Amish country would be so high! They don't

drive cars or use power!

I checked my area out and it does not look too bad except the cardo

stats looked very high...But, we usually rank high for bad allergy

area, pollen and other such is our big problem. Here is ours:

Perhaps caused by farming activity or something other than plants or

automobiles. Also I think 'terrain' effects this as my county in

Ohio was listed ahead of Chicago and New York but those areas are

flat and wind currents may carry pollution out more. Mountains may

block that. Many factors. Also I assume mold spores and other

biological pollutants are included as wouldn't they be included in

particulate matter? I think it measures everything that is in the

air, everything they can measure anyway. Any corrections. Not sure

about how this is measured but if they measure particle size

below .3 that would include mold spores. " Dust bowls " would have

high particulate count I would think, dry dusty locations that

breeze picks up dusty dirt easily and makes if airbourne. I think

it measures anything you wouldn't want to breath in.

I don't know how true this is but I was told the reason why our area

is so bad for allergies is because we sit below hills and stuff gets

trapped..there are mountains not too far away...

It seems to be a number of factor together and that can be a

factor. Cincinnati is on the northern border of Kentucky, which is

described as " the rolling hills of Kentucky " , but are actually quite

steep here, some streets kind-of San Francisco style roller coaster

type, with the Ohio River being in the center which is quite

polluted, and there is a fair amount of industry here also with

headquarters of soap maker Proctor and Gamble and industry giant GE,

but to cities like Chicago that would be nothing so must be the

combination of factors. I lived in Chicago for 12 years and is it

very flat, as is New York, also they both border large mass of water

which is even flatter so you get some very strong winds off of these

waters which would probably help " air " out the cities. However they

are listed in the 25 worst but surprised me that Cinci was listed as

worse so must be effect of hills surrounding the polluted Ohio

River...keeps whatever comes off of river around here!
