I feel like we were in the same spot in the 70s as we are now.
Except now tailpipe emissions are probably cleaner than the air you breathe in most major cities. I know near the area I work, where the homeless burn garbage, plastic, wood scraps and anything combustible is awful. I wonder if they'll get their EPA summons.

On certain days in Newark/NYC I would blow my nose and turn the tissue black from the soot in the air I had been breathing

Pittsburgh too. Your mucus was acting as designed.

You need not worry. People are free to burn leaves and such in their back yards in an open fire. It's part of the charm of Fall season and doesn't effect local air quality. God forbid they rake it up and pay $2 per bag to have the city incinerate it in one of their godless natural gas-fired ovens.

We have indeed cleaned up our air nicely over the years. I grew up in D.C. in the 60s. As a child I remember the acrid smell of photochemical smog, the "Spray Man" blowing pesticides (probably DDT) into the elm trees along our streets in the summers, and my asthmatic allergies. Things have definitely improved.

You should have sold the carbon credits your nose earned.
