Tulsa Air Improves in One Area, Gets Worse in Another

The American Lung Association’s 2015 ‘State of the Air’ Report is out, and Tulsa County gets grades from ‘A’ to ‘F’. Oklahoma Association Director Jeremy Hughey says the Tulsa area is doing well in cutting soot, what is called particle pollution, but smog or ozone levels rank the city as the 12th most polluted in the country.

The Lung Association says more safeguards are needed to help protect everyone’s health.
