I dont understand why the air quality is ranked so high. According to USAToday special report of the Smokestack Effect, the air here is polluted. They state toxicity assessments for each school are based on emissions data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of its Toxics Release Inventory program. They have a large Soybean oil mill releasing over 600,000 lbs of toxic chemicals in the air and a couple other manufacturing companies releasing (burning) toxic stuff in the air.
