CA is relatively clean from legacy pollution, this is true. CA is a newer state. Someone here mentioned various polluting industries starting in Buffalo from the 1840s. In 1840, CA wasn't even a state- no one lived there. CA didn't really experience major population growth until 1940-1950.
The population of ALL of California in 1860 was about the same as Buffalo today, spread out over an area 3,000x bigger.
