Hilo is tied for 401st in a list of the world's most air-polluted cities. It tied with Fairbanks, AK and Modesto and Visalia-Porterville, CA.
The survey is based on "Annual mean particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less, per million".
Hilo got a 27 which compares quite favorably with Beijing (121), Ahwaz, Iran (372) and New Delhi (198).
However, according to the list, Hilo has dirtier air than the Los Angeles/Long Beach/Glendale area (25)!
I guess its the vog, but I always thought that the air in Hilo seemed pretty clean.
