This article talks about the air pollution in the Central Valley and the effects on residents.  An interesting thing that it points out, to those that would fine the Valley for the pollution, is that it is not all caused by the Central Valley.  The geographical shape of the valley causes the particulates to be trapped here.  Not just what we produce, but those from the Bay area and China!  I was not aware of this.
The article is from 2014, but still holds a lot of value.  It describes how even active adults, with no other health problems, are having issues.  They see not other option, because not going outside is not an option for them with their active lifestyles.
