Carlos, our USA air was pretty bad 50 years ago, at least in cities!!! Air quality improved significantly when we started phasing lead out of gasoline from the late 70's through the mid-80's (... not that that wasn't a major environmental battle!!!)

Another major factor is that coal stopped being used for home heating (and to move trains). Yes, a lot of it is still burned in power plants, but the pollution is concentrated around them (and filtered to some extent), not created all over the place with no filters whatsoever.

My grandmother used to wash the living room ceiling every spring. The year after they converted the furnace to gas, she got half way through and stopped to rest. She couldn't tell where she'd stopped, so she didn't finish. And never did it again.

Really bedtime Ping!

From what I read once, there are no coal fired power plants in CA anymore, though there is more and more and more solar, wind and even solar thermal in Daggett CA(SEGS II (Daggett) Solar Power Station USA is located at Daggett, California, USA. Location coordinates are: Latitude= 34.863054545098, Longitude= -116.82691540507. This infrastructure is of TYPE Solar_Thermal Power Plant with a design capacity of 30 MWe. It has 1 unit(s). The first unit was commissioned in 1986. It is(was) operated by Luz International<-Bankrupt(Carlyle Group).)

A good point and a great family story!

I was on a whale watching excursion with the school and I saw Los Angeles's smog back in the early 70's, I was on a what could be a converted fishing trawler out between LA and Catalina in the channel, it was a light tan cloud that went all the way to ground level, I'll never forget that. I also remember that Dad said He was glad He didn't go along, as He had motion sickness, Me? I was fine, I quickly adapted. I did have the trawler go up & down when I was walking, I landed on My feet like a cat..

I'm sorry you felt as sick as a dog, but I loved it.
