Driving around in "SUVs and empty Pickups" has nothing at all to do with Pittsburgh's air quality action days. Gasoline vehicles contribute to Ozone, which Pittsburgh almost always measures very well in. It's the PM 2.5 pollution that is what gives Pittsburgh's air quality a bad name, and most of that blows in from coal-fired power plants along the Ohio River valley. It's one of the things that is so frustrating, that it's not even a problem that is because of us, nor is it a problem we can fix alone.
