New York City, NY - Dirtiest Air In Nation, EPA Says

New York City, NY - When it comes to dirty, cancer-causing air, New York City is the worst of the worst: the city with the greatest risk, in the state with the dirtiest air, according to data from the Environmental Protection Agency.

New York is followed by California, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and New Jersey for the dubious distinction of having the worst air, according to the EPA's data. The best air was in Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana.
