CleanAIR Press Wire: New Mexico Tops List for Cleanest Cities in the U.S.A.

The Facts:

The American Lung Association ranks three New Mexico cities in the top ten cleanest cities for long-term particle pollution in their annual State of the Air Report 2007.
The cities are: Santa Fe - #2, Farmington - #5, Albuquerque - #10.
The study looked at various factors such as ozone pollution and soot levels in ranking US cities as having high levels of air pollution (top 25 most polluted cities) or low levels of air pollution (top 25 cleanest cities).
New Mexico also ranked high in the Top 25 Cleanest Counties for Long-Term Particle Pollution. The counties chosen were: Santa Fe - #6, Grant - #15, and San Juan - #19.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is also home to CleanAIR Systems, one of the country’s top companies for emissions controls technology, specializing in controlling emissions of particulate matter (soot) and NOx, (which contributes to ozone pollution and smog.)

Release:

Santa Fe, NM – May 3, 2007 – The American Lung Association released its annual “State of the Air 2007” report on May 1st. Included in the analysis were three New Mexican metropolitan areas, ranking at the top of the list for cleanest cities in the U.S.A. CleanAIR Systems, a Santa Fe manufacturer of air pollution control technology, immediately took note of the news as an opportunity to congratulate its home state on an environmental job well done.

CleanAIR’s field of expertise is in reducing particle pollution from vehicles and stationary machinery. They have also entered the market of selective catalytic reduction for NOx emissions. NOx is a contributing pollutant to ground-level ozone and smog. As both pollutants are the basis of the American Lung Association’s annual report, CleanAIR takes special interest each year in the results.

The study looked at various factors such as ozone pollution and soot levels in deciding which US cities have the highest and lowest levels of air pollution. Santa Fe-Espanola came in at number two under the Top 25 Cleanest U.S. Cities for Long-Term Particle Pollution. Farmington was 5th and Albuquerque was tenth on the list. Los Angeles came in at number one on three different lists as the dirtiest city.

“Having fourteen years of experience in the field of air pollution control, CleanAIR Systems is thrilled that our home state ranked so high, having three of the top ten spots for cleanest cities. We chose Santa Fe for our business because it is clean and environmentally aware,” explained Michael Roach, President of CleanAIR Systems.

New Mexico also ranked high on the list for the Top 25 Cleanest U.S. Counties for Long-Term Particle Pollution. The counties chosen were: Santa Fe County at #6, Grant County at #15, and San Juan County made the list at #19.

“We sell our products all of over the world, trying to make a better environment. It would be great if everyone could have the air quality we have here in New Mexico,” added CleanAIR Customer Service Representative, Tom Mosley.
