A New Reason to Keep Living in Tucson: The Air is Great

[Ptah]

Rejoice, Tucsonans! According to the American Lung Association, Tucson is
among one of the best places to have lungs in this fair country of ours.

In a study released late last month, Tucson placed among the top sixteen
cities in the country for both year-round and short-term particle pollution,
along with fellow Arizona cities and towns, Flagstaff and Prescott.

By contrast, Phoenix continues to rank among the cities with the
worst pollution and ozone issues — so eat that, Phoenix.

2. Are there any 'self-limiting' factors

to keep Tucson from getting too big and sprawling, such as available fresh water, natural boundaries, etc.? It would be a shame if Tucson became as smog-ridden as Phoenix.
