N.Y., Calif. Air Is Dirtiest, EPA Says:
Wed Mar 22, 7:20 AM ET
LOS ANGELES - New Yorkers and Californians breathe the dirtiest air in the nation and face higher cancer risks than the rest of the nation, according to the latest data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
New Yorkers' risk of developing cancer from air toxins is estimated to be 68 residents per million. In California, the risk is 66 residents per million.
So why hasn't New York banned tobacco smoking too then? Obviously, second hand smoke is what's causing the cancer.
