I cant find emmision data from a Univ of Iowa dirt roads study but I remember someone said it was more 500-1000 times more massive than CO2 from cars that travel on them. Dirt roads are a threat to our planet we need to close them.

The EPA and Air Quality boards should focus on this if it is true.

I *rarely* have respiratory problems, and if I do it is in the Spring with allergies. But last winter and this winter in the SF Bay Area I have had both allergy and cold symptoms, I think because the air pollution is so bad here right now because this January we have hardly had any rain and the air is dirty from vehicle emissions and burning wood.
Granted, there is too much dust in my apartment but that will by gone by this Thursday when I have professional cleaners clean my place way better than I do, but the last few weeks I have had to fight off a head cold from moving down into my chest like it did last year.
I think that the local Bay Area media is avoiding covering the terrible winter air quality.

I live in Los Angeles and air pollution here is really bad. Currently I live near the free way so the quality of air is bad as it could be. I want to move to high elevation on the top of the hill. It feels like the air is cooler and crisper up there. My questions: Is there less smog as you move up elevation?? Is air quality better in high elevation even in the smack of LA? (ie: up in hollywood hills or diamond bar area)
