Air District, state of California, and federal air toxic control measures reduce air toxics emissions by targeting specific pollutants or requiring controls for specific types of emission sources.

The Air District's Board of Directors is announcing the establishment of a community steering committee to help guide the development of the Community Emission Reduction Plan for the Richmond-North Richmond-San Pablo area.

The Air District is announcing that more than $90 million in incentive funding is now available through the Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Program to upgrade or replace eligible heavy-duty vehicles and equipment with cleaner and zero-emissions technology. 

At a public hearing today, the Air District released the 2024 Toxic Air Contaminant Program Annual Report, along with a user-friendly new web page that allows members of the public to view toxic emission data from a comprehensive map of permitted facilities in the Bay Area. 

Owners or operators of non-compliant small boilers that are rated between 2 and 10 million BTU/hour may be eligible for the Small Boiler Stipulated Order for Abatement Program for additional time to install or retrofit boilers to meet the applicable Regulation 9, Rule 7, emission limits.

The Air District will host a signing ceremony for mayors, city and county government officials, and leaders of industry and business from all over the world who commit to going diesel free by signing the Statement of Purpose to cut diesel use to zero by 2033. 

The Air District Board of Directors has adopted amendments to Regulation 9, Rules 4 and 6, to eliminate emissions of nitrogen oxides, or NOx, from residential and commercial natural gas furnaces and water heaters in the Bay Area by requiring new appliances to be zero-NOx. 

To meet federal and state air quality standards, the Air District compiles emissions inventories for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and toxic air contaminants, and conducts special emissions studies.

The Air District announced today it has reached two separate agreements with Chevron and Martinez Refining Company resulting in an end to the litigation against the agency over its groundbreaking Regulation 6, Rule 5, major emissions reductions from both refineries, unprecedented penalties and other payments of up to $138 million, and a Richmond-area Community Air Quality Fund, among other benefits. The Air District estimates that the emission reductions achieved by the rule will result in tens of millions of dollars per year in health benefits by reducing early deaths and other health impacts of exposure to particulate matter.
