50 million Americans live in areas with ozone levels above the current national standard. Worldwide, 1.4 billion people breathe polluted air.

On average, air pollution takes one to two years off the typical human lifespan. In California, up to 17,000 premature deaths are due to particulate air pollution.

At times, visitors to the Grand Canyon, which drew 4.8 million people in 2000, can't see the other side due to air pollution. And some of that pollution originates in Los Angeles! Smog is a problem at many national parks, with Southern California's Joshua Tree National Park being the smoggiest in the U.S.
