We can all breathe a little easier now that the Bay Area was named one of the top 25 metro regions with the best air quality.

AOL Real Estate recently highlighted a study done by scientific engineering technology company Honeywell, where it looked at metro regions across the U.S. and ranked them based on air quality.  Rankings were based on pollen counts, ozone concentrations, public smoking laws, green initiatives and other factors.

The Bay Area (San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont) took the #15 spot, right behind the only other California metro region to make the list.  Surprisingly, Modesto, CA took the #16 ranking.

Florida was the state with the best showing.  Six cities from the sunshine state made the list.  For the full list, click here.
