The Air District is extending an air quality advisory for wildfire smoke through tomorrow, Sunday, August 8. Smoke from the McFarland, Monument, Dixie, and River Complex fires is expected to continue to impact the Bay Area, particularly at higher elevation locations in the North Bay and East Bay. The smoke is aloft above 1,500 feet and is not expected to cause widespread unhealthy air quality across the Bay Area. 

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.
