Wow. According to the American Lung Association website http://www.stateoftheair.org/2012/states/new-mexico/
the air quality in San Juan County, home of the Four Corners and San Juan coal-fired power plants, is much better than the air quality in Dona Ana county, home of no coal-fired power plants.
Maybe these Dona Ana results have absolutely nothing to do with industrial and vehicular sources, and everything to do with blowing dust from the west?
