Some of the cleanest cities in the U.S. are usually in agricultural communities that have a natural forest or natural reserve nearby, according to realtor<\/a>.com\u00ae\u2019s data team. On the other hand, the most polluted cities tend to be located in former industrial hubs, such as in the Rust Belt and along the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n

Pollution in the U.S. has been declining. For instance, in 2015, the nation\u2019s industrial facilities released 25 percent less toxic chemicals than in 2005, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAir quality has gotten much better because of preventions that were put in place under the 1970 Clean Air Act,\u201d says Janice Nolen, assistant vice president of the American Lung Association.<\/p>\n
