Learn about the Air District's ambient air monitoring network.
The Air District maintains one of the most comprehensive air quality monitoring networks in the country, consisting of over 30 stations distributed among the nine Bay Area counties.
This network measures concentrations of pollutants for which health-based ambient air quality standards have been set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. The network also measures concentrations of various pollutants designated as Toxic Air Contaminants by the state of California.
This information is used to determine compliance with state and federal air quality standards, prepare air quality forecasts, develop air quality plans, provide information for permit modeling, prepare environmental impact reports, and track air quality trends.
Pollutants measured by the monitoring network include:
空氣局運行由 30 多個監測站組成的周邊空氣監測網,並負責其維修、維護和品質控制。監測網收集當地空氣品質數據,並將數據用於許多用途,包括:
取樣項目,如 PM2.5 形成取樣及具體社區內的短期研究等,為空氣品質計劃的形成,更新法規及進一步瞭解灣區的空氣品質提供數據。
監測網測量的污染物包括:
灣區空氣品質管理局將在 2015 年 7 月發佈最新的周邊空氣監測網報告。報告描述該局 2014 年的空氣監測網,以及監測網的目標,並列出未來 18 個月內對監測網擬做的變更。有關擬議變更的資訊,可查看「2015-2016 年擬議網絡修改」一節。該小節說明了監測網的目標以及計劃在 2015 年 6 月 30 日之前實施的擬議變更。
下一期年度周邊空氣監測網報告計劃於 2016 年 7 月發佈。
