Air Quality and Emissions
This page last reviewed July 08, 2016
Background
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) gathers air quality (AQ) data for
the State of California, ensures the quality of this data, designs and
implements air models, and sets ambient air quality standards for the
state. ARB compiles the state's emissions inventory and performs air
quality and emissions inventory special studies.
The Air Quality Data page provides access to ambient air quality data,
maps of areas that violate the national and state air quality
standards, and maps of the ambient air quality monitoring network.
The ARB uses the Emissions Inventory and Air Quality Models to evaluate
air quality and reduce emissions in each of the 35 local air districts.
