County's air test coughs up little change

The American Lung Association's State of the Air 2011 report gives the county an F grade for smog and a C for fine particle pollution. The county's grades are the same as in 2010, which marked the first time Anne Arundel scored a C for particle pollution, after several years of D's and F's.

The county was not alone in receiving an F for smog. Nearly half of Americans live in areas with similar grades.

The report is based on data collected from air monitoring stations at about 900 locations in the country, including 15 in Maryland.

Overall, the report shows improvement from the previous year, since many of the most polluted areas made some progress, officials said. The strides were attributed to the federal Clean Air Act, which makes states accountable for cleaning up the air....

Anne Arundel was among 12 Maryland counties receiving F grades for smog. Garrett County and Baltimore City both earned C's, while Worcester County received a D.
