The Birmingham metro area has received an “F” grade for ozone pollution in the American Lung Association’s latest State of the Air report, released this week by the advocacy group.
The report states that Birmingham had the 35th worst ozone pollution in the country, and gave the city an “F” based on the number of days ozone alerts were issued from 2017-2019.
There was some good news about Birmingham’s air in the report, as the city ranked among the lowest levels of short-term particulate air pollution in the country.
