It was only the pollution memories. In the late sixties and the seventies the US north east was still fairly industrial, the cars were big and burned lots of leaded gasoline, so the air was a lot more polluted than today. Lakes and rivers were pretty polluted, some dead. Today they are fine. NYC, where I did my undergraduate degree, was muggy (no air conditioning), and sometimes the air smelled. Pittsburgh, where I did my post graduate studies, still had lots of steel factories, and the air smelled regularly.
