Washington, D.C.’s air quality dropped to an “F” grade in a new air quality report.
The new grade is lower than last year’s “C,” with 3.7 unhealthy days per year on average due to short-term spikes in particle pollution. The American Lung Association’s “State of the Air” report found worsening trends in air quality over time despite efforts to mitigate pollution.
