Air Quality
We all need and desire clean air to breathe. Although great strides have been made to improve air quality in Southern California there is still a great deal of improvement needed.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is the air pollution control agency for most of Southern California and they provide helpful resources regarding air pollution and reducing your personal exposure. Visit their website at www.aqmd.gov for current air quality conditions, forecasts and restrictions.
Also, at aqmd.enviroflash.info, you can download the AQMD app for iPhone and Android or sign up for Air Alerts to be notified when there is a no-burn alert issued for the area.
If you have questions regarding air pollution or ways you can help, contact the AQMD at 909-396-2000.
