What cities do you suggest have the best air quality?


We at NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory try to predict the surface ozone levels using complex transport, dispersion, and chemical transformation models, but to my knowledge, we do not study the health effects of air pollutants and where it might be best to live. The U.S. EPA might be a good starting location for your research. I would suggest you try the following EPA site and if that does not answer your question, there is a link at the bottom of the page where you can contact the EPA with further questions. The URL is:
