(no title)

Probably worth adjusting the title -- air quality is not just a measure of pollution. In this case, both SF and Portland are filled (unfortunately) with wildfire smoke, rather than a man-made pollutant...

Why do you want the title adjusted? It’s sadly just a fact that the air pollution is bad in SF today.

If bad air pollution is caused by factories do people in those towns come and make similar arguments?

I assumed the title meant man-made pollutants. That's colloquially what pollution refers to. It's pretty clearly misleading.

because the title is no longer correct? it's no longer the worst. not denying that pollution is bad in SF.

Is smoke not considered a pollutant? The list is just a ranking of current PM2.5 AQI levels.

Generally when people are talking about pollutants they're talking about man made pollutants.
