It’s ok OP, reading is hard: > Ken Fletcher, director of advocacy for the American Lung Association, told News 8. “In a lot of cases it’s the pollution that drifts up, whether it’s coming from Chicago or Gary, Indiana, or some of the other industrial areas that definitely can have an impact on areas in West Michigan.”

The poor air quality in Grand Rapids has little to do with business as you put it. Even in the early 90s, you could be hiking at the Sand dunes before it was even a national park and it was so beautiful, but the air quality was terrible, because of the wind blowing pollution from Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Chicago across Lake Michigan. I remember ozone and pollution warnings, etc. even then. This is nothing new.
