This only proves you shouldnt believe what you read

Valrico? Valrico cant be classified as a city, its not even a town it has no downtown and up until recently consisted of a post office and small fire-station. The article didnt say what " the pollution" consisted of but the entire area was and is still mostly cow pasture and strawberry fields. Now its becoming part of Brandon which in turn has become a bedroom community/suburb of Tampa.
Unless the pollution is a measurement of "bovine gas" the classification is beyond ridiculous. Lakeland I can understand to certain extent (though to say that, even that town is more polluted than any of the major CA cites is just plain B.S.) because of the phosphate mining industry and the low lying terrain and high summer temps but even there, no visible haze like one can see in San Francisco..
