Clean air... It's something many of us, perhaps, take for granted... Especially in Amarillo!
In fact, Amarillo has made the list for the top 10 cleanest cities in the United States.
The list comes from the American Lung Association (ALA). It released its annual report, highlighting the cities across the country that are cleanest when it comes to air pollution, short-term particle pollution, and year-long particle pollution.
