And I'm not an asthmatic/allergic type at all. But, I closed up my windows in my car and it still came in through the vents. It was especially bad on the 505 cutoff to I-5.

So, maybe that affects Chico area too? Maybe that's what he means by ag?

You don't get that here in Redding. There is more ranching type properties here. No ag industry. No crop dusters, etc., like I used to see regularly between Davis and Woodland when I lived there. The air quality in Redding is good, IMO. I can smell the wildfires sometimes. That's about it.

If that's the case, then I suppose so. The way Chico's situated against the foothills can kind of act like a pocket for pollution. It's usually not very dense though except in the burn seasons. Generally speaking the air quality's not bad - or at least I don't notice it. But then, I grew up in Chico so my tolerance might be much different from someone who just moved here.
