Apples and oranges, right? Pittsburgh is much smaller than the MSA as a whole.
Off the top of my head, a lot of the problem areas aren't in the city, though they're close. Braddock, Clairton, Neville Island (with particulates floating over to Avalon) all come to mind as places with pollution-y manufacturing, and they're all outside the city limits.
If the app's coverage goes all the way through Allegheny County my point is diminished, though.
Also worth noting that, even though our air might not be great, it was SO BAD before that anything toady is going to be better by comparison.
- bmj 9y agoThis is true, but given the right conditions, those of us that live in the city can definitely notice bad air quality days. I live in the East End, a stone's throw from the Allegheny, and if the wind is blowing right, there is a distinct sulfur smell in the air. Also worth noting that, even though our air might not be great, it was SO BAD before that anything toady is going to be better by comparison. Yes, this is definitely true.
