Web- heads at Google now offer pollution and emissions tracking for all U.S. counties. The EPA and Google Earth partners have developed a powerful tool for residents to track the exact toxins circulating in their neighborhoods (and by whom). These annual summaries are also holding big businesses accountable for their carbon-emissions as residents begin to call for action against industrial giants responsible polluting their neighborhoods.

A recent study by Forbes magazine sited Los Angeles and Bakersfield as the nation's most polluted cities. Surrounded by steel mills, car exhausts and smokestacks, Southern California is a breeding ground for murderous pollutants like carbon monoxide, lead & nitrogen oxide. These toxins have all been linked to Cancer, anemia, kidney failure, hearing loss and even death.
