I ran into this study while I was reading news on the net. JCPS ranked last out of 736 counties in the southeast for health risk from air pollution. The study was conducted using the latest available data possible which is 2005. The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District refutes the study finding because the data used was a year before the S.T.A.R. program started. S.T.A.R. program is designed to tackle Louisville's historically bad air quality.
I can see the Metro Air Pollution districts point, but lets be honest. How much ground can you make up in 4 years? Louisville could have gone from last to what middle of the pact at best. That's good movement, but is it really enough? Here is a link to the article. Enjoy.
