Pollution was determined based on air and water emissions from industry and utilities, and overall measures to long-term human health effects, using information from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Yeah, and I want to be one of them!😎
I live in Western Nevada. The only pollution here is the smoke from the annual late summer fires and the cattle.
