DC area gets an ‘F’ for air quality, according to new report

“The 2025 “State of the Air” report found that the air quality in the region has dropped from a “C” grade in pollution in 2024 to an “F” in one key area.”



“The report looked at air quality data from 2021 through 2023 and found that smoke from the wildfires seen out west and in Canada in 2023 added on to the already problematic smog conditions in D.C. region.


When it comes to ground level ozone, or “smog,” the area, which also includes parts of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, ranked as the 36th worst in the nation with a score of “F.” That ranking was based on the area’s worst county, Baltimore County, which had an average number of 7.5 unhealthy days a year.”
