Spring is a time of cleaning for many. Hopefully some of those "many" are in 3 Missouri cities that were just listed among the 100 most filthy places in America.
I am not an environmentalist, but I do love Missouri's many rivers. That's why it makes me sad to be the messenger that a new 2024 ranking has one of the mightiest that also happens to be one of the most polluted in America and there's no realistic way to save it now.
I've always thought that the air quality in Missouri was decent and it looks like the experts agree - for the most part. While most of the Show Me State gets passing grades for air quality, the same can't be said for St. Louis which flunked miserably.
The plot thickens. Or, perhaps it's the air over St. Louis as a new report claims that air pollution over the big city could soon become "dangerous". Let's explore what that means.
