The Air District is lifting an air quality advisory for wildfire smoke that was originally scheduled to last through tomorrow, Wednesday, August 27.

Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues. It is now a global celebration to raise public awareness of pollution. 

Learn about the Wildfire Air Quality Response Program, which was developed by the Air District to help mitigate the effect of wildfires on air quality in the Bay Area.

The Air District has lifted the Spare the Air Alert that was in place through Tuesday and is instead issuing an air quality advisory through Tuesday, October 13, due to possible localized smoke impacts near the Glass Fire.

The Air District will host a public meeting session on Thursday, October 10, regarding a permit application that was filed by Radius Recycling, formerly Schnitzer Steel Products Company. Members of the public are invited to attend to learn about and comment on this permit application.  

The Air District is upgrading the air quality advisory that was in place to Spare the Air Alerts due to heat and wildfire smoke today, Friday, August 27, and tomorrow, Saturday, August 28. The burning of wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors is prohibited.

The Air District's Board of Directors unanimously adopted strong new provisions that will significantly improve the agency’s wood burning regulation designed to further safeguard public health against the hazards of fine particle pollution. The changes to the Air District’s wood burning regulation tighten exemptions and requirements from the original rule which was adopted in July 2008.

The Air District is issuing Spare the Air Alerts due to wildfire smoke for today, Thursday, August 19, and tomorrow, Friday, August 20, which ban burning wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors. The air quality advisory for smoke that was in place has been upgraded to Spare the Air Alerts due to the expected deterioration of air quality conditions from explosive wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. 

The Air District is lifting an air quality advisory for the Bay Area due to wildfire smoke that was originally scheduled to last through today, Monday, July 14. Over the weekend, smoke from the Butler and Green wildfires had been moving down the Sacramento Valley and impacting air quality in portions of the Bay Area. However, as of Monday morning, the Bay Area is experiencing strong onshore winds, and smoke has remained mostly outside of the region. Air quality has been in the Good Air Quality Index category. Moderate onshore winds are expected to continue into Tuesday, keeping the smoke outside of the Bay Area. As the week progresses, these onshore winds will turn southerly in northern California, and this also is expected to keep the smoke from moving towards our region.
