The new 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan(8 Mb PDF, 268 pgs, revised 4/20/2017), adopted on April 19, 2017, is a call to action to “Spare the Air and Cool the Climate (YouTube streaming video).”
The 2017 Plan provides a regional strategy to protect public health and protect the climate. To protect public health, the plan describes how the Air District will continue our progress toward attaining all state and federal air quality standards and eliminating health risk disparities from exposure to air pollution among Bay Area communities. To protect the climate, the plan defines a vision for transitioning the region to a post-carbon economy needed to achieve ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, and provides a regional climate protection strategy that will put the Bay Area on a pathway to achieve those GHG reduction targets.
The 2017 Plan includes a wide range of control measures designed to decrease emissions of the air pollutants that are most harmful to Bay Area residents, such as particulate matter, ozone, and toxic air contaminants; to reduce emissions of methane and other “super-GHGs” that are potent climate pollutants in the near-term; and to decrease emissions of carbon dioxide by reducing fossil fuel combustion.
Documents listed below were adopted by the Air District Board on April 19, 2017.
The 2010 Multi-Pollutant Clean Air Plan was adopted in September 2010.
The Air District and its partners have been working hard to reduce particulate matter, or PM, emissions in the Bay Area and to meet state and national standards and to protect public health. Although the Bay Area is in attainment for annual PM2.5 State and national standards, the Bay Area is not in attainment of the 24-hr PM2.5 national standard. Therefore, the Air District continues its efforts to reduce local PM emissions. Key elements of the Air District’s work include:
Efforts to assess the health effects of particulate matter pollution in the context of climate change are ongoing through the Air District Advisory Council’s PM Symposium. Each symposium consists of presentations from a panel of nationally recognized scientists and experts who inform and facilitate discussion with community stakeholders and local agency representatives on PM and health.
