<p>Does anybody know ihow bad the air pollution is in Clarmont?</p>
<p>I don't personally know but I live an hour away and everyone says that the air is pretty bad since it is in a valley and the polluted air just gets trapped in.</p>
<p>Son has had no complaints, even over this summer--and he came from exurbs in flyover country. Much better than it used to be, and better than those of us not from the area might initially think.</p>
<p>Here is one earlier thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvey-mudd-college/488484-air-quality.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvey-mudd-college/488484-air-quality.html</a></p>
<p>Air quality is a problem only during the first few weeks of the year. Plus during the fires, when applicable. The rest of the year, the air quality is pretty good, as evidenced by the view of the mountains - which are not as close as they look.</p>
<p>There is a thread on this literally every few months...</p>
