Clearing the air in the Bay Area


On October 3, 2018, the Coalition for Clean Air is hosting the first statewide Clean Air Day. The Committee has a goal of involving 1 million Californians in activities that educate the public and reduce air pollution.

Regional committees in seven targeted communities across the state have been created to support and activate around Clean Air Day. In the Bay Area, companies, organizations and government officials have come together to clear the air.

The Bay Area Air District works to reduce air pollution throughout the region to protect the health and wellbeing of Bay Area residents and preserve our quality of life.  The Air District is a proud sponsor of Clean Air Day which champions actions Bay Area residents can take every day to reduce harmful air pollution.
