The air quality in the United States is dramatically declining, leaving about 150 million people -- nearly half of America's population -- breathing unhealthy, heavily polluted air, according to the newly released"State of the Air" 2020 report by the American Lung Association.
Covid-19 death rate rises in counties with high air pollution, study says"We're moving in the wrong direction, with nearly 21 million more people breathing dirty air than in last year's report," said Paul Billings, the national senior vice president of public policy for the American Lung Association.That's particularly bad news for people like Tim Seib, a 37-year-old New York City regional theater director who has suffered from asthma his entire life.
Thanks Donald.
Is probably going to improve a little with this inactivity
Where are scientists then, they have to reassure people.
So support Tesla, Toyota and the other auto makers who are producing electric cars. Mass transit hasn’t reduced pollution that much apparently.
Please do real reporting and discuss the improvements since coronavirus hit
Breaking News: All of the hot air coming from CNN leads to heavily polluted air.....
Doubtful at best...
No one believes you.
Not right now it's not.
Nothing like removing restrictions on polluters so you can hit their Executives up for campaign donations. Trump is absolutely shameless. Time to use the old Emperor Has No Clothes trick.
Vote for trump duh 😒 burn coal.
You are full of crap. With a global reduction in the amount of vehicles on the road, as well as aircraft and ships due to the reaction to the Coronavirus outbreak the air and water is cleaner. Documented. Peddle your BS elsewhere
I thought it was improving since the shutdown. Oh well
BULLSHIT ALLYOUDOISSPREADFEAR WHEREILIVETHEAIRISAMAZING CNNSUCKS FAKECORRUPTANDSTUPIDNEWS
I blame the cow farts 😂 oh wait that's AOC
ungubunugu1274 Welcome to Trump & the Republican’s plan to kill off the Black & Brown Americans in the big blue cities & urban areas. Trump is a sociopathic mass murderer !! LiberateTheWhiteHouse TrumpGenocide COVID19
Fake news.
That's LA for you take out trolly system and give you the cars and the pollution that goes with it that's what Detroit did to LA. Electric vehicles are the only way LA's air quality will get better for every 1 gas-powered vehicle there should be 5 electric cars on the road.
Which weakens people's lungs and allows the virus to take hold.
More FakeNewsCNN
Ya that’s just coming from your fake news stories.
Maybe this crisis is the occasion to question our business model...
Yet we planted over 20 mill trees AND nobody is driving
How can that be? No one is hardly driving and significantly less air traffic. It should be improving
Almost as dangerous as consuming bullshit from CNN.
due to cook at home🤔🤔🤔?
The 'State of the Air 2020' report uses data from 2016, 2017 and 2018? I think they mis-titled their report.
This was random
Health or Politics? Which one will guide US toward balance? 🤔
If you are going to discuss any regulations Trump cut that causes contaminated air, water, and food then you need to cite what regulations. Stop with vague references. America has the lowest emissions in the world. Globalist CNN and other organizations dont want you to know.
Because cities are too densely populated. Funny how pretty much every negative environmental metric can be linked to high population density and urbanization, where all the *drumroll* 'environmentally-concious' folks live ClimateChange Environmentaljustice
This is based on a report from 2018/19. Try reporting on a current assessment post pandemic.
Among their other problems...
If you live in a big city, move
Anything else you want to scare the hell out of people with? Wow.
Meanwhile, Trump keeps ripping out air and water quality regulations. It's only going to get worse.
If the pollution is still increasing while tons of businesses are closed and folks aren’t driving, then we need to just accept that we’re screwed.
Yay more fake news from the fake news creators!
Last mont you had an article saying it was better..
Wow this is the uplifting news we need today
Whilst the air quality improves the media mainly cnn still smells like hot garbage... you are not relevant stop thinking that you are :)
The spread of coronavirus is exacerbated by air pollution. Mr Trump's blame game has a new target
All that deregulation
Depronto es por que nunca les ha interesado cuidar el medio ambiente, pues chupen ahora
This is why regulations exist: if you're against regulation on principle you're against people in practice.
Show me proof and a real scientist with credibility.
I smell CNN BS....
Fox News poisoned America’s minds. Trump poisoned our air, water, and food by gutting protections.
Can't be true, the president said we have the cleanest air and water
The WEST should be SCARED
When does the cooling start with all the cars off the road? This month?
that’s why ClimateChange is destroying our country 😥
Come to Korea! Our air is undefeated!
That’s almost as many who’ve died from gun violence since 2013

What in God’s name can be done to help this situation?
This you posted last week
Well then. Who should be blamed for this one? More importantly, can we spin this so China can be blamed for this?
Old article.
Burning the wrong type of coal. Need to burn the clean coal.(hee hee)
If no one is working and traveling then the air should be much better.
This an old CNN coverage. It's not about covid19 and more about firing up your fears. Don't read it and if you do....don't believe it. Shame on you CNN. Geeeessscch! Responsible journalism and free speech is a joke....in the US.
Even in partial lockdown? Sounds like fake news 😂
Due to Trump rolling back EPA regulations.
CNN is Rick Moranis from Ghostbusters. 98% of their pieces are varying degrees of Doomsday Porn. 😂
Trump wont care because his presidency is all about him. Screw humanity is his mantra... USA will be in a really bad place soon due to trump.
Your air is still 80% purer than ours in Nigeria
Can you all 'but I thought coronavirus...' people read this? Yes. Did you? Clearly not. The report is based on data from years prior to the pandemic. 🤦🏾♂️
At least this study coupled with the quarantine proves that a dramatic reduction in driving doesn’t help the air quality
As usual with this Network ⤵️
From china
Lots of pollution coming out of Trump's mouth.
Huh? Is this a post Covid report? Doesn’t seem possible. CNN was this just an article in the pipeline? Makes you look bad unless you can defend the science behind this.
I’m lost What now
And yet none of us are driving so how is that possible ? Correct me if I’m wrong but can we not filter the air ?
Do we really think it matters to trump supporting christian Republicans? No they don't care in fact they want more pollution by big companies so the economy can grow under trump administration.
