Air District Fact

Looking ahead – to the next 50 years – the Air District envisions a Bay Area that remains a healthy, vibrant and beautiful place to live. Yet, our greatest challenges are yet to come – energy consumption will increase with population and economic growth, and that, particularly when combined with a warmer climate, could cause significant increases in air pollution.
