Jack in he latter years had respiratory ailments. LA was a pretty
****ty choice air quality wise for one who suffered as he did. 96 is
a pretty long life though. Who knows if he had lived somewhere with
cleaner air like Honolulu how much longer he would have lived. I
think LA is number 1 or 2 worst polluted cities.


Actually it is number 3.

Most polluted US cities - By year-round particle pollution

1. Bakersfield, California
2. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
3. Los Angeles, California
4. Visalia, California
5. Birmingham, Alabama
6. Hanford, California
7. Fresno, California
8. Cincinnati, Ohio
9. Detroit, Michigan
10. Cleveland, Ohio




Spent a few days in Pittsburg in July. FIrst time. Seemed like a pretty
clean city to me. Of course, my travel around town scope was limited.
