My grandmother used to tell me that when she was a little girl her mother would go to the market every day. That in those days most people only bought what they would eat that night or would keep. Plus all the food was local.
So perhaps places like New York had air pollution but I'm sure a smaller city or just 10 minutes outside of city things were far more cleaner.
