Does this need a citation? The car is the thing that brings the pollution. You live in the burbs, you drive the car, you pollute. You live in the city, you walk/bike/transit, you pollute less.

I have lived in quite a few cities in the US, and people who live in the city are still driving a majority of the time. There are not that many US cities that have the appropriate biking and transit capabilities to match their size.
The part that needs a citation is not "cars make pollution" but rather "pollution is the main reason people want to move to the suburbs".
The citation needed is that anyone takes a car to avoid car pollution.
