Report Cards

The American Lung Association State of the Air report issues an annual report card for all cities and counties where air quality data is collected on ozone and particle pollution.
 

What's the State of Your Air?

The American Lung Association "State of the Air 2026" report ranks cities and grades counties based on their levels of ozone and two measures of particle pollution in 2022, 2023 and 2024. We use official data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to compile the results. For more information about how we rank and grade cities and counties, go to Methodology.
