美国肺脏协会发布空气质量报告：多地臭氧和颗粒物污染严重，部分地区得分不及格
Read, Watch or Listen
United States: The American Lung Association released its annual State of the Air report this week, using EPA monitoring data from 2022–2024 to grade counties and metropolitan areas on ozone and particle pollution. The report lists multiple metros with failing grades — including areas around Indianapolis, San Diego County, and Jefferson County — while some Pacific Northwest counties received high ozone marks. The report's findings prompted immediate local reactions and public-health concern this week: ALA officials cited sources such as vehicle emissions, coal-fired plants and wildfire smoke; San Diego climbed into the top 10 worst metros for particle pollution year-round; Jefferson County recorded six unhealthy air days per year; communities with high rankings face calls for mitigation and expanded monitoring.

Timeline of Events
- 环保局在 2022-2024 年期间收集了臭氧和颗粒物监测数据。
- 美国肺脏协会将其三年的数据汇编到其年度《空气状况报告》中。
- 全国和地方媒体本周公布了区域性结果，重点介绍了表现不佳和表现出色的社区。
- 地方官员和美国肺脏协会代表就污染源和健康影响发表了声明。
- 在报告发布后，社区和政策制定者开始讨论监测扩展和缓解措施。
Why This Matters to You
空气质量直接影响您的健康。空气质量差会加剧哮喘等呼吸道疾病，并增加心脏病风险。如果您居住在污染严重地区，请在污染严重的日子里限制户外活动。定期检查您所在地区的空气质量指数。
The Bottom Line
空气污染是一个严峻的问题，美国肺脏协会的报告显示，许多美国大都市都未能达标。这不仅是环境问题，也是公共健康问题。如果你认识住在这些未达标地区的人，值得将此信息转发给他们。他们可能需要采取预防措施。

公共卫生组织、清洁能源公司和地方决策者可以通过获得最新、特定于本地的数据来受益，以支持减缓资金、监管行动和社区外展，从而减少污染暴露。
在2022-2024年期间，收到不合格评级的县区的居民——特别是儿童、老人以及患有呼吸系统或心血管疾病的人——接触臭氧和颗粒物污染的程度更高，并面临相关的健康风险。
