What?? Have you ever seen Mexico City? Or India? Or China, though they are improving. We may have the most automobiles, but I don't buy that we have the most pollution.
But, the EPA is the reason we don't have much pollution. And while some of their rules are questionable, they have done their job since they were created. I just wish we the public had more (some?) say in the matter.
You are right, the USA is not #1, its #2 since 2007 and it releases 3 times the amount of pollution than #3 Russia. Prior to 2007 it was the worlds #1 polluting country, and now it's JUST behind the #1 polluter which is China. And this is just for air pollution. I would hate to see the stats that include nuclear/water/land/light pollution.

It's funny how the automotive world works. I had been noticing brand new 2011+ model FORD's over here with the 2.7L V6 Diesel blowing some soot on hard acceleration, this intrigued me as I couldn't figure how a new car with a DPF could be doing this. Well after a looking looking around the answer was simple, from factory these cars have no DPF, yes, a 2011+ diesel car with no DPF from factory. I guess FORD has no plans to export those to the USA!
It gets better, the 2013 Holden Colorado with the 2.8L Duramax has no DPF either, no wonder both these vehicles get exceptional highway MPG figures (FORD claimed 37MPG for a 4,510 lb vehicle).
