Just from a logical perspective this is what I would have suppossed. There’s such an enormous distance from the last conceivable polluting source. The last time this air was breathed it probably was in Japan or Kamchetka.
My brother told me the air in the forests of Northern California and Oregon was the best he has ever experienced. And he has traveled a lot within the US. So whatever large city that is near the forests in those areas.
You can also try an ionic air purifier. Those make the air feel fresher and less stuffy when I use them.
Finding air that meets my qualifications of really fresh would be difficult near a large city, but I am about 150 miles from Boise up in the mountains and my air is wonderful. I’m at about 5800 feet so it does take a day or so to adjust to, but oh, it is soooooo nice.
Hawaiian islands. Middle of the Pacific ocean with no sources of air pollution upwind. Otherwise northern CA coast, OR coast, WA coast - all close enuf to large towns and civilization.
The air there can be very smoky in parts. Oh, it’s a special kind of smoke, not air pollution, but still, it can cause your head to get foggy…
Places to absolutely STAY AWAY FROM: any of the California farming towns in Central Valley and outside, e.g. Bakersfield, Fresno, Modesto. Some of the worst pollution in the US. LA of course, too.
