California is home to six of the ten most polluted cities in the US

A statehouse of US ‘climate warriors’ has been found to be crawling with pollution.

A new report has found that six of the 10 locations with the worst air quality are in California, resulting from factories, vehicle emissions, agricultural use, wildfires and the oil and gas facilities.

Bakersfield was found to have the highest levels of fine particles, including soot, soil dust and sulfates, in the air of any U.S. city.

The pollution is likely a result of the booming oil and gas industry that produces 248 billion barrels annually — even as California has taken steps to end the use of fossil fuels.

Visalia and Fresno ranked second and third for vehicle emissions, heavy agricultural use and factory emissions.

Governor Gavin Newson, who has been called a “climate crusader,” has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, sparking a movement among residents who call themselves “climate warriors.”

The data on the most polluted cities was compiled by the American Lung Association, which used the latest air pollution data collected by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the two most common types of pollution: ozone (smog) and particulate pollution. pollution (PM).

The city of Bakersfield in Northern California is a hub for energy production, agriculture and distribution in the state.

Kern County is the most prolific oil-producing county and home to Kern Oil, which has received more than 170 formal enforcement actions for violations of the Clean Air Act since 2015.

This was also evident from the report that there are 14,596 cases of asthma in children and 56,417 in adults in Bakersfield, which has a population of approximately 916,108.

The report also shows that there are 14,596 asthma cases in children and 56,417 adults in Bakersfield, which has a population of about 916,108 people.

Bakersfield, Visalia and Fresno are on the drier and hotter south side of the valley, which already results in poor air quality.

The report notes that the three main sources of pollution for cities are agriculture, forest management, incineration of agricultural waste and road dust.

Eugene, Oregon ranked fourth worst in the country for emissions from cars, wood stoves and diesel engines.

California’s Bay Area ranks fifth worst for transportation emissions, wildfires and industrial stormwater.

Sacramento was considered the sixth worst in the US due to vehicle exhaust and wildfires

And Los Angeles came in next due to the burning of fossil fuels, especially from vehicles, ships, aircraft and manufacturing, as well as forest fires.

Sacramento was considered the sixth worst in the US due to vehicle exhaust and wildfires.

The eighth spot was given to Medford Oregon, followed by Phoenix, Arizona and Fairbanks, Arkansas.

California also emerged in April as the largest emitter of a little-known greenhouse gas.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have identified high levels of sulfide fluoride, a common pesticide for termites and ants, which is accumulating in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.

The team analyzed more than 15,000 air samples collected between 2015 and 2019 by NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory, finding up to 85 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions came from The Golden State.

Data showed that the US is responsible for 17 percent of global sulfur fluoride emissions, but 12 percent comes from California.
